Abstract:Abstract:Communication networks play such a critical role in modern society that any failures in these networks are intolerable. In this study, we focus on the influence of network congestion and build a model to study the dynamics of cascading failures in communication networks. Investigation of the relationship between the initial allocation of efficiency among edges and the damage caused by cascading failures shows that a higher initial efficiency may lead to more severe consequence in case of cascading fai… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
