With the development of integrated and intelligent transportation systems, the stability and
security of system performance are highly emphasized. Resilience and vulnerability are …

Internet outages are inevitable, frequent, opaque, and expensive. To make things worse,
they are poorly understood, while a deep understanding of them is essential for …

Vulnerability assessment—a critical issue for networks—attempts to foresee unexpected
destructive events or hostile attacks in the whole system. In this article, we consider a new …

Recent natural disasters have revealed that emergency networks presently cannot
disseminate the necessary disaster information, making it difficult to deploy and coordinate …

Telecommunications networks, and in particular optical WDM networks, are vulnerable to
large-scale failures in their physical infrastructure, resulting from physical attacks (such as …

This study considers a class of critical node detection problems that involves minimization of
a distance‐based connectivity measure of a given unweighted graph via the removal of a …

The assessment of network vulnerability is of great importance in the presence of
unexpected disruptive events or adversarial attacks targeting on critical network links and …

This study presents an integer programming framework for minimizing the connectivity and
cohesiveness properties of a given graph by removing nodes and edges subject to a joint …

Critical node detection problems aim to optimally delete a subset of nodes in order to
optimize or restrict a certain metric of network fragmentation. In this paper, we consider two …

Critical node problems (CNPs) involve finding a set of critical nodes from a graph whose
removal results in optimizing a predefined measure over the residual graph. As useful …
