Abstract: It is discovered that there are two important characters, local-world character and weight-driven character, in many real-life complex networks. Motivated by this fact, a weight-driven local-world network model is proposed, which incorporates the weight dynamics and the fixed local-world property. By means of mathematical analysis and numerical simulation, the strength distribution of the network model has been obtained. The results are applied to epidemic spreading theory.
