Abstract

We study the transport properties of two types of resistor networks: the ladder and the Sierpinski gasket (SG), where all their bonds obey a power-law distribution of conductances: P()-, <1, 1. We argue that for the ladder there exists a critical value of , c=(1/2, that separates normal (c) and anomalous transport (>c), whereas for the SG the transport is normal for all . Extensive numerical simulations, based on triangle-star transformations, support our predictions. The difference between the two structures is discussed.
