A heterogeneous continuous time random walk is an analytical formalism for studying and modeling diffusion processes in heterogeneous structures on microscopic and macroscopic scales. In this paper we study both analytically and numerically the effects of spatio-temporal heterogeneities onto the diffusive dynamics on different types of networks. We investigate how the distribution of the first passage time is affected by the global topological network properties and heterogeneities in the distributions of the travel times. In particular, we analyze transport properties of random networks and define network measures based on the first-passage characteristics. The heterogeneous continuous time random walk framework has potential applications in biology, social and urban science, search of optimal transport properties, analysis of the effects of heterogeneities or bursts in transportation networks.

We propose dynamic scaling in temporal networks with heterogeneous activities and memory, and provide a comprehensive picture for the dynamic topologies of such networks, in terms of the modified activity-driven network model [H. Kim textit{et al.}, Eur. Phys. J. B {bf 88}, 315 (2015)]. Particularly, we focus on the interplay of the time resolution and memory in dynamic topologies. Through the random walk (RW) process, we investigate diffusion properties and topological changes as the time resolution increases. Our results with memory are compared to those of the memoryless case. Based on the temporal percolation concept, we derive scaling exponents in the dynamics of the largest cluster and the coverage of the RW process in time-varying networks. We find that the time resolution in the time-accumulated network determines the effective size of the network, while memory affects relevant scaling properties at the crossover from the dynamic regime to the static one. The origin of memory-dependent scaling behaviors is the dynamics of the largest cluster, which depends on temporal degree distributions. Finally, we conjecture of the extended finite-size scaling ansatz for dynamic topologies and the fundamental property of temporal networks, which are numerically confirmed.
In real networks, the dependency between nodes is ubiquitous; however, the dependency is not always complete and homogeneous. In this paper, we propose a percolation model with weak and heterogeneous dependency; i.e., dependency strengths could be different between different nodes. We find that the heterogeneous dependency strength will make the system more robust, and for various distributions of dependency strengths both continuous and discontinuous percolation transitions can be found. For ErdH{o}s-R{e}nyi networks, we prove that the crossing point of the continuous and discontinuous percolation transitions is dependent on the first five moments of the dependency strength distribution. This indicates that the discontinuous percolation transition on networks with dependency is determined not only by the dependency strength but also by its distribution. Furthermore, in the area of the continuous percolation transition, we also find that the critical point depends on the first and second moments of the dependency strength distribution. To validate the theoretical analysis, cases with two different dependency strengths and Gaussian distribution of dependency strengths are presented as examples.
In this paper, we propose a general model for collaboration networks. Depending on a single free parameter {bf preferential exponent}, this model interpolates between networks with a scale-free and an exponential degree distribution. The degree distribution in the present networks can be roughly classified into four patterns, all of which are observed in empirical data. And this model exhibits small-world effect, which means the corresponding networks are of very short average distance and highly large clustering coefficient. More interesting, we find a peak distribution of act-size from empirical data which has not been emphasized before of some collaboration networks. Our model can produce the peak act-size distribution naturally that agrees with the empirical data well.
A condensation transition was predicted for growing technological networks evolving by preferential attachment and competing quality of their nodes, as described by the fitness model. When this condensation occurs a node acquires a finite fraction of all the links of the network. Earlier studies based on steady state degree distribution and on the mapping to Bose-Einstein condensation, were able to identify the critical point. Here we characterize the dynamics of condensation and we present evidence that below the condensation temperature there is a slow down of the dynamics and that a single node (not necessarily the best node in the network) emerges as the winner for very long times. The characteristic time t* at which this phenomenon occurs diverges both at the critical point and at $T -> 0$ when new links are attached deterministically to the highest quality node of the network.
The recent high level of interest in weighted complex networks gives rise to a need to develop new measures and to generalize existing ones to take the weights of links into account. Here we focus on various generalizations of the clustering coefficient, which is one of the central characteristics in the complex network theory. We present a comparative study of the several suggestions introduced in the literature, and point out their advantages and limitations. The concepts are illustrated by simple examples as well as by empirical data of the world trade and weighted coauthorship networks.
