- Abstract
We suggest a self-adaptive model for a description of actor-collaboration. Suppose that the numbers of actors and directors increase as time progresses (with different velocity). Each of the people is randomly given a style coefficient and a famousness coefficient, which vary on time according to his achievements in every year. A director can conduct more films and an actor can be invited to perform in more films in condition they have a higher famousness coefficient. Our numerical simulation results show that the actor-collaboration network described by this model is both small-world network and scaling-free network. All the important statistical parameters obtained by the simulation are in a good agreement with the statistical results. We also suggest a new parameter, which is addressed as "degree of connexity". Its distribution shows a new power law.
