Abstract:

We study a class of preferential growth system [1] and promote the model to a general situation. Considering there are m elements added to the system at each time step, The m elements can either join in the new group (with probability q=1-p) or dependently join in an already existing group with a probability proportional to the size thereof. Based on the Markov chain theory, we get the rigorous proof for the existence of the steady-state degree distribution and obtain the exact solution, then prove the model has scale-free property.

Key words: Preferential growth system, Steady-state degree distribution, Scale-free property, Markov chain
