Many real-world networks, ranging from the world trade web to the Internet network, have been described by multi-local-worlds. It is obvious that the nodes within a local world are much more connected to each other than to the others outside the local world. A multi-local-world model can capture and describe these real-world networks' topological properties. Based on the local-world model, a weighted multi-local-world evolving network model is presented. This model combines selected nodes with preferential attachment and three kinds of local changes of weights. Using a rate equation and the mean-field method, we study the network's properties: the weight distribution and the strength distribution. We theoretically prove that the weight distribution and the strength distribution follow a power-law distribution in some conditions. Numerical simulations are in agreement with the theoretical results.
