Two types of weight-dependent walks with a trap in weighted scale-free treelike networks

Abstract In this paper, we present the weighted scale-free treelike networks controlled by the weight factor r and the parameter m. Based on the network structure, we study two types of weight-dependent walks with a highest-degree trap. One is standard weight-dependent walk, while the other is mixed...
