Abstract
The effect of the structure of a complex network on the properties of an avalanche dynamical process on it has been studied. It has been found that such a structural characteristic of the network as the degree of its assortativity (disassortativity), which is numerically expressed by the assortativity coefficient r, is a control parameter determining the properties of the dynamical process on the network.
