The Property of Hierarchical Structure in Manufacturing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hierarchical structure is one of the most ubiquitous structures in various networked complex systems. In order to investigate the properties of the hierarchical structure, a deterministic hierarchical network model is first proposed. The statistical properties of the constructed networks are also discussed. The simulation results prove that the artificial networks simultaneously possess the small-world and scale-free properties well. This may be useful in furthering study of the topology properties of the hierarchical networks in real life.
