Abstract

We find that transport on scale-free random networks depends strongly on degree-correlated network topologies whereas transport on Erdös- Rényi networks is insensitive to the degree correlation. An approach for the tuning of scale-free network transport efficiency through assortative or dissortative topology is proposed. We elucidate that the unique transport behavior for scale-free networks results from the heterogeneous distribution of degrees.
