Self-Organization of Diverse Directional Hierarchical Networks in Simple Coupled Maps with Connection Changes

We comprehensively studied the morphology of the self-organized effective network structures that form in simple coupled maps with interelement synchronization-dependent connection changes. Based on the parameter values, the spontaneous formation of four types of directional hierarchical networks, named pair-driven networks, loop-driven networks, hidden trio-driven networks, and hidden community-driven networks, was observed. This study provides novel insights into the self-organized complex networks that form in neural networks, various other biological networks, and social networks.
