ABSTRACT:
In this
paper, we first analyze the evolution of the logistics distribution network gradually
from the simple to the complex, mainly based on distribution network and a
typical third party logistics enterprise, establishing the relationship among
nodes in the network. Calculating logistics distribution network node degree distribution
by using MATLAB program, our computational results show that the node degree distribution
of power law index meets the characteristics of scale-free network. Based on
this feature, we establish model of the distribution of node formation and the
client node distribution in the network.
