Abstract

We propose an evolutionary weighted model for technological networks based on the interplay of traffic and infrastructure of the network by introducing a strength coupling mechanism. The model gives many statical properties such as evolution of strength, distribution of strength, degree and weight supported by empirical evidence. In particular, the model generates nontrivial degree-strength correlation observed in real-world networks. Interestingly, all properties are adjusted depending on a single parameter that represents the speed of total weight growth of the network.
