Critical breakdown ratio
( = degree)
It provides a theoretical value for the critical fraction of the nodes, which need to be removed in a network to lose its large-scale connectivity [36, 45]. It is a measure of robustness to failures and can be adopted to estimate the magnitude of losses.Robustness
