Critical phase in nonconserving zero-range processes and rewiring networks.
Zero-range processes, in which particles hop between sites on a lattice, are closely related to rewiring networks, in which rewiring of links between nodes takes place. Both systems exhibit a condensation transition for appropriate choices of the dynamical rules. The transition results in a macroscopically occupied site for zero-range processes and a macroscopically connected node for networks. Criticality, characterized by a scale-free distribution, is obtained only at the transition point. This is in contrast with the widespread scale-free complex networks. Here we propose a generalization of these models whereby criticality is obtained throughout an entire phase, and the scale-free distribution does not depend on any fine-tuned parameter.
