Shock propagation and the topology of complex networks

In this work we propose a model in order to study shocks propagation in complex networks. We investigate the relation between shocks propagation and the underlying topological structure. We find that, under certain assumptions, shocks converge towards an asymptotic vector distribution) which represents the con_guration of equilibrium for the system and depends only on the topology of the network. By the use of numerical simulations, we compare diverse classes of networks.
