Complex networks are ubiquitous: a cell, the human brain, a group of people and the
Internet are all examples of interconnected many-body systems characterized by …

Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the
Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large …

INTRODUCTION Cascading failures in power grids are inherently network processes, in
which an initially small perturbation leads to a sequence of failures that spread through the …

The combination of the compactness of networks, featuring small diameters, and their
complex architectures results in a variety of critical effects dramatically different from those in …

Understanding how interdependence among systems affects cascading behaviors is
increasingly important across many fields of science and engineering. Inspired by cascades …

Power laws and distributions with heavy tails are common features of many complex
systems. Examples are the distribution of earthquake magnitudes, solar flare intensities and …

Complex networks with a heterogeneous distribution of loads may undergo a global
cascade of overload failures when highly loaded nodes or edges are removed due to …

This book provides a concise modern introduction to the science of complex networks. The
book is based on lectures for university students and non-specialists. The aim is to introduce …

We investigate the cascading failure on weighted complex networks by adopting a local
weighted flow redistribution rule, where the weight of an edge is (kikj) θ with ki and kj being …

We propose a packet routing strategy with a tunable parameter α based on the local
structural information of a scale-free network. As free traffic flow on the communication …
