We investigate the navigation problem in lattices with long-range connections and subject to a cost constraint. Our network is built from a regular two-dimensional (d=2) square lattice to be improved by adding long-range connections (shortcuts) with probability P(ij) approximately r(ij)(-alpha), where r(ij) is the Manhattan distance between sites i and j, and alpha is a variable exponent. We in...
