Some collaboration-competition bipartite networks


Abstract in English

Recently, we introduced a quantity, node weight, to describe the collaboration sharing or competition gain of the elements in the collaboration-competition networks, which can be well described by bipartite graphs. We find that the node weight distributions of all the networks follow the so-called shifted power law (SPL). The common distribution function may indicate that the evolution of the collaboration and competition in very different systems obeys a general rule. In order to set up a base of the further investigations on the universal system evolution dynamics, we now present the definition of the networks and their node weights, the node weight distributions, as well as the evolution durations of 15 real world collaboration-competition systems which are belonging to diverse fields.
