A Century of Topological Coevolution of Complex Infrastructure Networks in an Alpine City

Convergence plots when creating the random and regular network equivalents (10 stochastic networks per iteration step) for the WDN 1910 and the WDN 2010. Effective edge rewiring in (a) the randomization process and (b) the regularization process; (c) ratio of the characteristic path length of the randomized and the original networks; (d) ratio of the clustering coefficient of the original and the regularized networks; and (e) the convergence of the small-world property ω. For further analysis the number of iterations was set to 10¹ and 10³ for the randomization and regularization process, respectively.
