Disordered networks generated by recursive searches

The influence of recursive search in the in-degree distribution of growing networks is investigated. A model with recursive searches as a main ingredi ent is proposed. Its properties are investigated using a rate equation appr oach and numerical simulations. It is shown that recursive searches can lea d to very rich behaviors, from exponential in-degree distributions to trunc ated power laws and a self-organized critical state with robust power laws.
