Network Robustness Revisited

Network Robustness Revisited

Blog Article

The robustness of complex networks was one of the first phenomena studied after the inception of network science.However, many contemporary presentations of this theory do not go beyond the original papers.Here we revisit this topic with the aim of providing a deep but didactic skateboards introduction.We pay attention to some complications in the computation of giant component sizes that are commonly ignored.Following an intuitive procedure, we Diecast Truck derive simple formulas that capture the effect of common attack scenarios on arbitrary (configuration model) networks.

We hope that this easy introduction will help new researchers discover this beautiful area of network science.
