Reaction-diffusion processes in scale-free networks

چکیده
In this chapter we provide a review of the main results recently obtained in the modeling of binary fermionic reaction-diffusion processes on scale-free networks. We show how to derive rate equations within the heterogeneous mean-field formalism, and how information can be obtained from them both for finite networks in the diffusion-limited regime and in the infinite network size lime. By means of extensive numerical simulations, we check the mean field predictions and explore other aspects of the reaction-diffusion dynamics, such as density correlations and the effects of the minimum degree or a tree-like topology.

Characteristics of reaction-diffusion on scale-free networks.
We examine some characteristic properties of reaction-diffusion processes of the A+A-->0 type on scale-free networks. Due to the inhomogeneity of the structure of the substrate, as compared to usual lattices, we focus on the characteristics of the nodes where the annihilations occur. We show that at early times the majority of these events take place on low-connectivity nodes, while as time adv...
متن کاملReaction-diffusion processes on correlated and uncorrelated scale-free networks.
We compare reaction-diffusion processes of the A+A-->0 type on scale-free networks created with either the configuration model or the uncorrelated configuration model. We show via simulations that except for the difference in the behavior of the two models, different results are observed within the same model when the minimum number of connections for a node varies from k(min) =1 to k(min) =2 ....
متن کاملReaction-Diffusion Processes on Interconnected Scale-Free Networks
We study the two-particle annihilation reaction A+B→∅ on interconnected scale-free networks, using different interconnecting strategies. We explore how the mixing of particles and the process evolution are influenced by the number of interconnecting links, by their functional properties, and by the interconnectivity strategies in use. We show that the reaction rates on this system are faster th...
متن کاملReaction-diffusion processes in scale-free networks
In this work we investigate the dynamics of reaction-diffusion processes on scale-free networks. Particles of two types, A and B, are randomly distributed on such a network and diffuse using random walk models by hopping to nearest neighbor nodes only. Here we treat the case where one species is immobile and the other is mobile. The immobile species acts as a trap, i.e. when particles of the ot...
متن کاملBosonic reaction-diffusion processes on scale-free networks.
Reaction-diffusion processes can be adopted to model a large number of dynamics on complex networks, such as transport processes or epidemic outbreaks. In most cases, however, they have been studied from a fermionic perspective, in which each vertex can be occupied by at most one particle. While still useful, this approach suffers from some drawbacks, the most important probably being the diffi...
