Interdependency and Vulnerability of Multipartite Networks under Target Node Attacks

Figure 2

Ideas of two widely adopted methods for network robustness analysis. (a) Idea of the method based on the calculation of , i.e., the fraction of nonzero degree nodes after removing q fraction of the nodes from a network [56, 60, 65]. (b) Idea of the method based on the calculation of , i.e., the fraction of nodes in the largest connected component of a network after removing fraction of its nodes [16, 21, 45].
