It is an intersecting fact to not that to date the notion of dynamic networks refers to either one of two different concepts. First the pattern of Links, in a network topology evolves dynamically in time. Second the nodes can be individual dynamic systems coupled by static links [5, 6, 10, 22 24]. Adaptive networks are not new. Nearly all real world networks are to an extent adaptive and adaptive networks occurs in multiple disciplines today [12, 13, and 18]. What is new is that in recent years adaptive networks have become a focal point of extensive investigation using ...
