A Survey of Evolving Models for Weighted Complex Networks based on their Dynamics and Evolution

Abstract

For decades, complex networks, such as social networks, biological networks, chemical networks, technological networks, have been used to study the evolution and dynamics of different kinds of complex systems. These complex systems can be better described using weighted links as binary connections do not portray the complete information of the system. All these weighted networks evolve in a different environment by following different underlying mechanics. Researchers have worked on unraveling the evolving phenomenon of weighted networks to understand their structure and dynamics. In this chapter, we discuss the evolution of weighted networks and evolving models to generate different types of synthetic weighted networks, including undirected, directed, signed, multilayered, community, and core-periphery structured weighted networks. We further discuss various properties held by generated synthetic networks and their similarity with real-world weighted networks.
