Existence of an optimum for the average search time in a multi-linked network with .

Density plot of the average search time for networks with nodes and . Data are obtained from formula (3), via numerical inversion of matrix (5), for every choice of and . In both cases here depicted, the three matrices are generated according to the Watts-Strogatz algorithm, for different choices of the probability and the initial connectivity , (): , , , (lower triangle), , , , (upper triangle). The dashed crosses identify the optimal values for and as predicted by the approximated numerical expression (8).
