Identifying Vulnerable Nodes of Complex Networks in Cascading Failures Induced by Node-Based Attacks

Figure 2

Under RA and HL attacks, the relative size of nodes in the largest component 𝐺 as a function of 𝛼 for (a) SF network, (b) WS small-world network with the rewiring probability 𝑃=0.1, (c) WS network with 𝑃=0.5, and (d) ER random network. The simulations under RA attack are averaged over 20 times.
