Abstract

In this work we analyze scale-free networks with different power law spectra N(k) k-γ under a boolean dynamic, where the boolean rule that each node obeys is a function of its connectivity k. This is done by using only two logical functions (AND and XOR) which are controlled by a parameter q. Using damage spreading technique we show that the Hamming distance and the number of 1's exhibit power law behavior as a function of q. The exponents appearing in the power laws depend on the value of γ.
