Abstract

Scale-free networks are characterized by strong fluctuations of node connectivities that profoundly affect dynamical processes occurring on them. Usual simple mean-field treatments are not sufficient to deal with these fluctuations and need to be modified to explictly take into account the dependence on the degree, leading to nontrivial heterogeneous mean-field theories. We discuss the application and the limits of validity of heterogeneous mean-field theory for absorbing phase-transitions, as the contact process, and for ordering phenomena as the voter model and Glauber dynamics at zero temperature.
