METASTABILITY OF THE CONTACT PROCESS ON SLOWLY EVOLVING SCALE-FREE NETWORKS
METASTABILITY OF THE CONTACT PROCESS ON SLOWLY EVOLVING SCALE-FREE NETWORKS
We investigate the contact process on scale-free networks evolving by a stationary dynamics whereby each vertex independently updates its connections with a rate depending on its power. This rate can be slowed down or speeded up by virtue of decreasing or increasing a parameter $\eta$, with $\eta\downarrow-\infty$ approaching the static …
