Citation networks are fundamental for analyzing the mechanisms and patterns of knowledge creation and dissemination. While most studies focus on pairwise attachment between papers, they often overlook compound relational structures, such as co-citation. Combining two key empirical features, superlinear node inflow and the temporal decay of node influence, we propose the Triangular Evolutionary Model of Superlinear Growth and Aging (TEM-SGA). The fitting results demonstrate that the TEM-SGA reproduces key structural properties of real citation networks, including degree distributions, generalized degree distributions, and average clustering coefficients. Further structural analyses reveal that the impact of aging varies with structural scale and depends on the interplay between aging and growth, one manifestation of which is that, as growth accelerates, it increasingly offsets aging-related disruptions. This motivates a degenerate model, the Triangular Evolutionary Model of Superlinear Growth (TEM-SG), which excludes aging. A theoretical analysis shows that its degree and generalized degree distributions follow a power law. By modeling interactions among triadic closure, dynamic expansion, and aging, this study offers insights into citation network evolution and strengthens its theoretical foundation.
