Multiscale Vulnerability Of Complex Networks, Chaos
 









Abstract: We present a novel approach to quantify the vulnerability of a complex
network, i.e., the capacity of a graph to maintain its functional performance
under random damages or malicious attacks. The proposed measure represents a
multiscale evaluation of vulnerability, and makes use of combined powers of the
links' betweenness. We show that the proposed approach is able to properly
describe some cases for which earlier measures of vulnerability fail. The
relevant applications of our method for technological network design are
outlined.
