Bypass rewiring improves connectivity and robustness of networks against removal of nodes including failures and attacks. A concept of bypass rewiring on directed networks is proposed, and random bypass rewiring on infinite directed random…

Many real systems are extremely vulnerable against attacks, since they are scale-free networks as commonly existing topological structure in them. Thus, in order to improve the robustness of connectivity, several edge rewiring methods have…

We developed a scheme for evaluating the size of the largest connected subnetwork (giant component) in random networks and the percolation threshold when sites (nodes) and/or bonds (edges) are removed from the networks based on the cavity…

The structure of the network has great impact on its traffic dynamics. Most of the real world networks follow the heterogeneous structure and exhibit scale-free feature. In scale-free network, a new node prefers to connect with hub nodes…

Network science have constantly been in the focus of research for the last decade, with considerable advances in the controllability of their structural. However, much less effort has been devoted to study that how to improve the…

Real-world complex systems exhibit intricate interconnections and dependencies, especially social networks, technological infrastructures, and communication networks. These networks are prone to disconnection due to random failures or…

We study the robustness of complex networks to multiple waves of simultaneous (i) targeted attacks in which the highest degree nodes are removed and (ii) random attacks (or failures) in which fractions $p_t$ and $p_r$ respectively of the…

While new forms of attacks are developed every day to compromise essential infrastructures, service providers are also expected to develop strategies to mitigate the risk of extreme failures. In this context, tools of Network Science have…

The vulnerability of networks to targeted attacks is an issue of widespread interest for policymakers, military strategists, network engineers and systems biologists alike. Current approaches to circumvent targeted attacks seek to increase…

The effects of link rewiring are considered for the class of directed networks where each node has the same fixed out-degree. We model a network generated by three mechanisms that are present in various networked systems; growth, global…

With the increasing scale of communication networks, the likelihood of failures grows as well. Since these networks form a critical backbone of our digital society, it is important that they rely on robust routing algorithms which ensure…

Network topology plays a key role in many phenomena, from the spreading of diseases to that of financial crises. Whenever the whole structure of a network is unknown, one must resort to reconstruction methods that identify the least biased…

We investigate the robustness of random networks reinforced by adding hidden edges against targeted attacks. This study focuses on two types of reinforcement: uniform reinforcement, where edges are randomly added to all nodes, and selective…

It is a mainstream idea that scale-free network would be fragile under the selective attacks. Internet is a typical scale-free network in the real world, but it never collapses under the selective attacks of computer viruses and hackers.…

Given a connected network, it can be augmented by applying a growing strategy (e.g. random or scale-free rules) over the previously existing structure. Another approach for augmentation, recently introduced, involves incorporating a direct…

Scale-free networks with small power law exponent are known to be robust, meaning that their qualitative topological structure cannot be altered by random removal of even a large proportion of nodes. By contrast, it has been argued in the…

When an initial failure of nodes occurs in interdependent networks, a cascade of failure between the networks occurs. Earlier studies focused on random initial failures. Here we study the robustness of interdependent networks under targeted…

The capacity to resist attacks from the environment is crucial to the survival of all organisms. We quantitatively analyze the susceptibility of protein interaction networks of numerous organisms to random and malicious attacks. We find for…

There has been a considerable amount of interest in recent years on the robustness of networks to failures. Many previous studies have concentrated on the effects of node and edge removals on the connectivity structure of a static network;…
