Methods to Measure the Network Path Connectivity

(a) Na_C is shown as a function of the number of deleted edges. (b) Tri_num is shown as a function of the number of deleted edges.(c) SPCNL is shown as a function of the number of deleted edges. (d) <k2> is shown as a function of the number of deleted edges. (e) P_num is shown as a function of the number of deleted edges. (f) Avg_L is shown as a function of the number of deleted edges. When two nodes are disconnected, the number and length of the shortest paths between them are set to 0. Each data point is the average of the ten networks for BA networks, ER networks, Ran networks, Dis networks, and Ass networks under the edge betweenness-based malicious attack.
