8.
Average fractional return probability
versus topology of the network
Definition
asymptotic power law
a ring
a tree
a scale-free network!
of the Brabasi-Albert type
the return probability !
depends on the shapes !
of the network!

9.
Global time also depends on shapes of networks
efficiency to explore the network
Questions:!
1. is the emergence of Levy
flight shape-dependent?!
2. 'tempered' fractional
dynamics on networks?!
3. how to introduce 'spectral
methods' onto networks?!
4. how do probability quantities
depend on the structure of
networks?
