Growing network with j-redirection

A model for growing information networks is introduced where nodes receive new links through j-redirection, i.e. the probability for a node to receive a link depends on the number of paths of length j arriving at this node. In detail, when a new node enters the network, it either connects to a randomly selected node, or to the j-ancestor of this selected node. The j-ancestor is found by following j links from the randomly selected node. The system is shown to undergo a transition to a phase where condensates develop. We also find analytical predictions for the height statistics and show numerically the non-trivial behaviour of the degree distribution.
