Scale-Free Network Fitness

The Bianconi-Barabási model extends preferential attachment by giving each node a fitness η drawn from a distribution. Attachment probability ∝ η·k creates a "fittest-get-richer" dynamic analogous to Bose-Einstein condensation.

Π(i) = ηi·ki / Σj ηj·kj  |  P(k) ~ k−γ  |  γ = 1 + 1/β̄
