Abstract: The study on network coherence and eigentime identity has gained much interest. In this paper, the first-order network coherence is characterized by the entire mean first-passage time (EMFPT) for weight-dependent walk, while the eigentime identity is quantified by the sum of reciprocals of all nonzero normalized Laplacian eigenvalues. We construct a family of weighted fractal networks with the weight factor r (0 < r ≤ 1). Based on the relationship between the first-order network coherence and the EMFPT, the asymptotic behavior of the first-order network coherence is obtained. The obtained results show that the scalings of first-order coherence with network size obey three laws according to the range of the weight factor. The first law is that the scaling obeys a power-law function of the network size Nn with the exponent, represented by logsr, when 1sKeywords: Weighted fractal networks; First-order network coherence; Entire mean first-passage time; Eigentime identity (search for similar items in EconPapers)
