We apply percolation theory to a recently proposed measure of fragmentation $F$ for social networks. The measure $F$ is defined as the ratio between the number of pairs of nodes that are not connected in the fragmented network after…
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…
In interdependent networks, it is usually assumed, based on percolation theory, that nodes become nonfunctional if they lose connection to the network giant component. However, in reality, some nodes, equipped with alternative resources,…
Who is more important in a network? Who controls the flow between the nodes or whose contribution is significant for connections? Centrality metrics play an important role while answering these questions. The betweenness metric is useful…
Network theory provides a rich toolbox consisting of methods, measures, and models for studying the structure and dynamics of complex systems found in nature, society, or technology. Recently, it has been pointed out that many real-world…
The giant mutually connected component (GMCC) of an interdependent or multiplex network collapses with a discontinuous hybrid transition under random damage to the network. If the nodes to be damaged are selected in a targeted way, the…
The topology of a sensor network changes very frequently due to node failures because of power constraints or physical destruction. Robustness to topology changes is one of the important design factors of wireless sensor networks which…
It is of paramount importance to uncover influential nodes to control diffusion phenomena in a network. In recent works, there is a growing trend to investigate the role of the community structure to solve this issue. Up to now, the vast…
Robustness of network of networks (NON) has been studied only for dependency coupling (J.X. Gao et. al., Nature Physics, 2012) and only for connectivity coupling (E.A. Leicht and R.M. D Souza, arxiv:0907.0894). The case of network of n…
Network science has presented community detection as a valuable tool for revealing functional modules in complex systems rooted in the wiring architectures of complex networks. The varying procedures of community detection can produce,…

In spite of a few attempts in understanding the dynamical robustness of complex networks, this extremely important subject of research is still in its dawn as compared to the other dynamical processes on networks. We hereby consider the…
The functions of complex networks are usually determined by a small set of vital nodes. Finding the best set of vital nodes (eigenshield nodes) is critical to the network's robustness against rumor spreading and cascading failures, which…
In recent years, various deep learning techniques have been exploited in side channel attacks, with the anticipation of obtaining more appreciable attack results. Most of them concentrate on improving network architectures or putting…
The weight of links in a network is often related to the similarity of the nodes. Here, we introduce a simple tunable measure for analysing the similarity of nodes across different link weights. In particular, we use the measure to analyze…
Strengthening or destroying a network is a very important issue in designing resilient networks or in planning attacks against networks including planning strategies to immunize a network against diseases, viruses etc.. Here we develop a…
This article presents an analysis of the structural resilience of a fragment of Internet topology against both targeted and random attacks, based on empirical data obtained from the iThena project. Using a processed visualization of the…
k-connectivity is an important measure of network robustness and resilience to random faults and disruptions. We undertake both local and global approaches to k-connectivity and calculate closed form analytic formulas for the probability…
Power grids exhibit patterns of reaction to outages similar to complex networks. Blackout sequences follow power laws, as complex systems operating near a critical point. Here, the tolerance of electric power grids to both accidental and…
