In this paper, we define a stochastic Sierpinski gasket, on the basis of which we construct a network called random Sierpinski network (RSN). We investigate analytically or numerically the statistical characteristics of RSN. The obtained results reveal that the properties of RSN is particularly rich, it is simultaneously scale-free, small-world, uncorrelated, modular, and maximal planar. All obtained analytical predictions are successfully contrasted with extensive numerical simulations. Our network representation method could be applied to study the complexity of some real systems in biological and information fields.

The class of Koch fractals is one of the most interesting families of fractals, and the study of complex networks is a central issue in the scientific community. In this paper, inspired by the famous Koch fractals, we propose a mapping technique conv erting Koch fractals into a family of deterministic networks, called Koch networks. This novel class of networks incorporates some key properties characterizing a majority of real-life networked systems---a power-law distribution with exponent in the range between 2 and 3, a high clustering coefficient, small diameter and average path length, and degree correlations. Besides, we enumerate the exact numbers of spanning trees, spanning forests, and connected spanning subgraphs in the networks. All these features are obtained exactly according to the proposed generation algorithm of the networks considered. The network representation approach could be used to investigate the complexity of some real-world systems from the perspective of complex networks.
Designing optimal structure favorable to diffusion and effectively controlling the trapping process are crucial in the study of trapping problem---random walks with a single trap. In this paper, we study the trapping problem occurring on unweighted a nd weighted networks, respectively. The networks under consideration display the striking scale-free, small-world, and modular properties, as observed in diverse real-world systems. For binary networks, we concentrate on three cases of trapping problems with the trap located at a peripheral node, a neighbor of the root with the least connectivity, and a farthest node, respectively. For weighted networks with edge weights controlled by a parameter, we also study three trapping problems, in which the trap is placed separately at the root, a neighbor of the root with the least degree, and a farthest node. For all the trapping problems, we obtain the analytical formulas for the average trapping time (ATT) measuring the efficiency of the trapping process, as well as the leading scaling of ATT. We show that for all the trapping problems in the binary networks with a trap located at different nodes, the dominating scalings of ATT reach the possible minimum scalings, implying that the networks have optimal structure that is advantageous to efficient trapping. Furthermore, we show that for trapping in the weighted networks, the ATT is controlled by the weight parameter, through modifying which, the ATT can behave superlinealy, linearly, sublinearly, or logarithmically with the system size. This work could help improving the design of systems with efficient trapping process and offers new insight into control of trapping in complex systems.
Many real networks share three generic properties: they are scale-free, display a small-world effect, and show a power-law strength-degree correlation. In this paper, we propose a type of deterministically growing networks called Sierpinski networks, which are induced by the famous Sierpinski fractals and constructed in a simple iterative way. We derive analytical expressions for degree distribution, strength distribution, clustering coefficient, and strength-degree correlation, which agree well with the characterizations of various real-life networks. Moreover, we show that the introduced Sierpinski networks are maximal planar graphs.
A vast variety of real-life networks display the ubiquitous presence of scale-free phenomenon and small-world effect, both of which play a significant role in the dynamical processes running on networks. Although various dynamical processes have been investigated in scale-free small-world networks, analytical research about random walks on such networks is much less. In this paper, we will study analytically the scaling of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for random walks on scale-free small-world networks. To this end, we first map the classical Koch fractal to a network, called Koch network. According to this proposed mapping, we present an iterative algorithm for generating the Koch network, based on which we derive closed-form expressions for the relevant topological features, such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, average path length, and degree correlations. The obtained solutions show that the Koch network exhibits scale-free behavior and small-world effect. Then, we investigate the standard random walks and trapping issue on the Koch network. Through the recurrence relations derived from the structure of the Koch network, we obtain the exact scaling for the MFPT. We show that in the infinite network order limit, the MFPT grows linearly with the number of all nodes in the network. The obtained analytical results are corroborated by direct extensive numerical calculations. In addition, we also determine the scaling efficiency exponents characterizing random walks on the Koch network.
Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the two-dimensional Potts models with q=3 and 4 states on directed Small-World network. The disordered system is simulated applying the Heat bath Monte Carlo update algorithm. A first-order and second-or der phase transition is found for q=3 depending on the rewiring probability $p$, but for q=4 the system presents only a first-order phase transition for any value $p$ . This critical behavior is different from the Potts model on a square lattice, where the second-order phase transition is present for $qle4$ and a first-order phase transition is present for q>4.
