Today I read a paper titled “Percolation in networks composed of connectivity and dependency links”
The abstract is:
Networks composed from both connectivity and dependency links were found to be more vulnerable compared to classical networks with only connectivity links
Their percolation transition is usually of a first order compared to the second order transition found in classical networks
We analytically analyze the effect of different distributions of dependencies links on the robustness of networks
For networks with Gaussian distribution of dependency links we show how the average and width of the distribution affect the robustness of the networks
