Phys. Rev. E 79, 056112 (2009) [8 pages]Topological transition in dynamic complex networksReceived 10 September 2008; revised 6 March 2009; published 22 May 2009 Using a network model involving statistical mechanics we study the topological transition of complex networks with evolving wiring structure. The evolution rule of our network model contains both a structuring effect originated in a wiring decision metric (local clustering coefficient) and a randomizing effect due to thermal fluctuation. Monte Carlo simulation results show a dramatic topological transition between nonclustered networks and clustered networks in response to changes in the degree of randomness. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
