"Geometric origin of scaling in large traffic networks"
 
   Datum: 13. studeni 2012. (utorak)
   Vrijeme: 14:00 sati c.t.
   Mjesto: IRB, predavaonica III krila
 
 
   Sazetak:
 
 A number of papers in the last decade studied properties of big traffic
networks. Understanding such networks is important not only due to their
socio-economic importance, but also because epidemics and invasive species
are transmitted through them. Most studies have found nonlinear scaling of
strength with degree with exponent around 3/2. We present a simple model,
based on robust assumptions, that reproduces the observed exponent as a
function of space dimension.
