Analysis and synthesis of a growing network model generating dense scale-free networks via category theory

Abstract We propose a growing network model that can generate dense scale-free networks with an almost neutral degree−degree correlation and a negative scaling of local clustering coefficient. The model is obtained by modifying an existing model in the literature that can also generate dense scale-f...

description Abstract We propose a growing network model that can generate dense scale-free networks with an almost neutral degree−degree correlation and a negative scaling of local clustering coefficient. The model is obtained by modifying an existing model in the literature that can also generate dense scale-free networks but with a different higher-order network structure. The modification is mediated by category theory. Category theory can identify a duality structure hidden in the previous model. The proposed model is built so that the identified duality is preserved. This work is a novel application of category theory for designing a network model focusing on a universal algebraic structure.
