Network robustness assessed within a dual connectivity framework: joint dynamics of the Active and Idle Networks

Abstract Network robustness against attacks has been widely studied in fields as diverse as the Internet, power grids and human societies. But current definition of robustness is only accounting for half of the story: the connectivity of the nodes unaffected by the attack. Here we propose a new fram...

description Abstract Network robustness against attacks has been widely studied in fields as diverse as the Internet, power grids and human societies.
