Abstract

Biological networks of interacting agents exhibit similar topological properties for a wide range of scales, from cellular to ecological levels, suggesting the existence of a common evolutionary origin. A general evolutionary mechanism based on global stability has been proposed recently [J I Perotti, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 108701 (2009)]. This mechanism was incorporated into a model of a growing network of interacting agents in which each new agent's membership in the network is determined by the agent's effect on the network's global stability. In this work, we analyze different quantities that characterize the topology of the emerging networks, such as global connectivity, clustering and average nearest neighbors degree, showing that they reproduce scaling behaviors frequently observed in several biological systems. The influence of the stability selection mechanism on the dynamics associated to the resulting network, as well as the interplay between some topological and functional features are also analyzed.

稳定性作为相互作用网络的自然选择机制

从细胞到生态水平，相互作用的生物网络在广泛的尺度上表现出相似的拓扑特性，表明存在共同的进化起源。最近提出了一种基于全局稳定性的一般进化机制[J] Perotti, et al.， Phys。[j].科学通报，2009(1)。这种机制被纳入到一个不断增长的相互作用的代理网络模型中，其中每个新代理在网络中的成员资格取决于代理对网络全局稳定性的影响。在这项工作中，我们分析了表征新兴网络拓扑结构的不同数量，如全局连通性、聚类和平均最近邻度，表明它们再现了在几个生物系统中经常观察到的缩放行为。分析了稳定性选择机制对网络动力学的影响，以及一些拓扑特征和功能特征之间的相互作用。收稿日期:2010年7月17日;录用日期:2010年9月27日;编辑:d.h.

期刊介绍： Papers in Physics publishes original research in all areas of physics and its interface with other subjects. The scope includes, but is not limited to, physics of particles and fields, condensed matter, relativity and gravitation, nuclear physics, physics of fluids, biophysics, econophysics, chemical physics, statistical mechanics, soft condensed matter, materials science, mathematical physics and general physics. Contributions in the areas of foundations of physics, history of physics and physics education are not considered for publication. Articles published in Papers in Physics contain substantial new results and ideas that advance the state of physics in a non-trivial way. Articles are strictly reviewed by specialists prior to publication. Papers in Physics highlights outstanding articles published in the journal through the Editors'' choice section. Papers in Physics offers two distinct editorial treatments to articles from which authors can choose. In Traditional Review, manuscripts are submitted to anonymous reviewers seeking constructive criticism and editors make a decision on whether publication is appropriate. In Open Review, manuscripts are sent to reviewers. If the paper is considered original and technically sound, the article, the reviewer''s comments and the author''s reply are published alongside the names of all involved. This way, Papers in Physics promotes the open discussion of controversies among specialists that are of help to the reader and to the transparency of the editorial process. Moreover, our reviewers receive their due recognition by publishing a recorded citable report. Papers in Physics publishes Commentaries from the reviewer(s) if major disagreements remain after exchange with the authors or if a different insight proposed is considered valuable for the readers.
