Self-organized critical adaptive networks — •Matthias Rybarsch and Stefan Bornholdt — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Bremen, Otto-Hahn-Allee, 28359 Bremen

Dynamical systems of spins on a network can exhibit self-regulated evolution towards a critical state and are used as toy models for self-tuning in biological neural networks [1]. If, however, the model is changed from spin type to a network composed of Boolean state nodes which are more plausible in the biological context [2], this rewiring algorithm will no longer evolve the system to criticality and cannot be directly transferred in a simple way. Also, the function of such self-organized networks is often limited to a certain network topology like a regular lattice in case of ref. [1]. Here, we discuss a correlation-dependent mechanism for self-organized connectivity evolution which adresses these difficulties and evolves a biologically motivated, yet minimalistic network model to an average connectivity close to criticality in terms of damage spreading, both on lattice or random network topology.
