Multilayer infrastructure is often interdependent, with nodes in one layer depending on nearby nodes in another layer to function. The links in each layer are often of limited length, due to the construction cost of longer links. Here, we…

Multiplex networks describe systems whose interactions can be of different nature, and are fundamental to understand complexity of networks beyond the framework of simple graphs. Recently it has been pointed out that restricting the…
Modular networks, such as critical infrastructures, are often built from distinct, densely connected modules (e.g., cities) that are sparsely interconnected. When such networks are gradually and randomly disrupted under a percolation…
