Scaling and Multi-scaling Laws and Meta-Graph Reconstruction in Laplacian Renormalization of Complex Networks (2507.08893v1)

Abstract: The renormalization group (RG) method in spectral space (SS) has recently emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional RG approaches in real space (RS) and momentum space (MS). Leveraging the intrinsic properties of random walks and diffusion, the SS RG framework is particularly effective in analyzing the structural and dynamical features of complex networks, serving as a valuable complement to RS and MS techniques. However, its theoretical foundation remains incomplete due to its time-dependent long-range coarse-graining mechanism. In this work, we construct a self-consistent framework in which the fractal, random walk, and degree exponents are determined simultaneously, while their scaling relations remain invariant. We also introduce a novel method for constructing meta-renormalized networks and discuss the roles of meta-links in a real electric power grid. Finally, we demonstrate the validity and non-recursive nature of the SS RG transformation.
