We propose a general evolutionary mechanism based on global stability. This mechanism is incorporated into a model of a growing network of interacting agents in which each new agent’s membership in the network is determined by the agent’s effect on the network’s global stability. It is shown that out of this stability constraint complex topological properties emerge in a self-organized manner, offering an explanation for their observed ubiquity in biological networks. date: 2009-08 date_type: published publication: Physical Review Letters volume: 103 publisher: American Physical Society pagerange: 108701 id_number: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.108701 refereed: TRUE issn: 0031-9007 official_url: http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.108701 citation: Perotti, Juan I. and Billoni, Orlando V. and Tamarit, Francisco A. and Chialvo, Dante and Cannas, Sergio A.
