Interdependency and Vulnerability of Multipartite Networks under Target Node Attacks

Algorithm 1

Framework of the method for analyzing the robustness of an L-partite network under target node attacks.
Input: an L-partite network G; index
Output: the robustness curves
(1)Implement for all ; //memory allocation
(2); //see Section 4.4.
(3)For do
(a); //remove the former nodes from .
(b); //see Sections 4.2 and 4.3.
(c);
(d) Implement for all ; //in the final LCC, calculate the fraction of nodes remained in each node set.
(4)End
(5)Go to step 2 and repeat the above processes for T times. Calculate the average values of .
(6)Plot with respect to p.
