摘要：We investigate the structural organization of the point-to-point electric, diffusive or hydraulic transport in complex scale-free networks. The random choice of two nodes, a source and a drain, to which a potential difference is applied, selects two tree-like structures, one emerging from the source and the other converging to the drain. These trees merge into a large cluster of the remaining nodes that is found to be quasi-equipotential and thus presents almost no resistance to transport. Such a global "tree-cluster-tree" structure is universal and leads to a power law decay of the currents distribution. Its exponent, -2, is determined by the multiplicative decrease of currents at successive branching points of a tree and is found to be independent of the network connectivity degree and resistance distribution.
