Complex networks are ubiquitous: a cell, the human brain, a group of people and the
Internet are all examples of interconnected many-body systems characterized by …

Finding an optimal subset of nodes in a network that is able to efficiently disrupt the
functioning of a corrupt or criminal organization or contain an epidemic or the spread of …

Many systems on our planet shift abruptly and irreversibly from the desired state to an
undesired state when forced across a “tipping point”. Some examples are mass extinctions …

Resilience, a system's ability to adjust its activity to retain its basic functionality when errors,
failures and environmental changes occur, is a defining property of many complex systems …

From physics to engineering, biology and social science, natural and artificial systems are
characterized by interconnected topologies whose features–eg, heterogeneous connectivity …

Natural and technological interdependent systems have been shown to be highly vulnerable
due to cascading failures and an abrupt collapse of global connectivity under initial failure …

Considering that not all overload nodes will be removed from networks due to some effective
measures to protect them, we propose a new cascading model with a breakdown …

An important property of networked systems is their robustness against removal of network
nodes, through either random node failure or targeted attack. Although design methods …

Cascading failure is a potentially devastating process that spreads on real-world complex
networks and can impact the integrity of wide-ranging infrastructures, natural systems and …

Many social, biological and technological networks consist of a small number of highly
connected components (hubs) and a very large number of loosely connected components …
