From the perspective of network scale, edge-weight distribution, node-strength distribution, and network resilience, comparative analysis is made on the structure of air passenger flow weighted networks of China and the US from the year 2003 to 2008, using complex network theory and visualization. Results show that Chinese network has a strong capacity of air passenger traffic and great development potential, though there is a large difference in the network scale between China and the US. Both edge-weight distribution and node-strength distribution of the domestic networks of China and the US obey the power law, showing stability under random attacks and frangibility under coordinated attacks. The comparative analysis on network resilience of China and the US demonstrates structural stability of multi-hub network is much stronger than that of “Tripod Ding Pattern” network. Therefore the construction and management of hubs in China should be strengthened.
摘要运用复杂网络理论和可视化技术，从网络规模、边权分布、点权分布和网络弹性等角度，对2003—2008年中国和美国航空客流加权网络的结构进行对比分析. 研究表明：中国航空客流网络的规模与美国网络差异较大，但其承担航空客流的能力较强，发展潜力极大；中国和美国航空客流网络的边权分布和点权分布都服从幂律分布，呈现出应对随机攻击的稳定性和协同攻击的脆弱性；对中国和美国网络弹性的对比分析表明，多枢纽网络结构的稳定性远强于“三足鼎形”网络，中国应加强对枢纽的建设和管理.
