The dynamic behaviors of the complex network are crucially affected by its structural properties, which is an essential issue that has attracted much interest. In this paper, the effects of the community structure on the navigability of complex networks are comprehensively investigated. The...

Network's resilience to the malfunction of its components has been of great concern. The goal of this work is to determine the network design guidelines, which maximizes the network efficiency while keeping the cost of the network (that is the average connectivity) constant. With a global...

In real-life networks, incomers may only connect to a few others in a local area for their limited information, and individuals in a local area are likely to have close relations. Accordingly, we propose a local preferential attachment model. Here, a local-area-network stands for a node and all...
