The robustness of networks plays a crucial role in various applications. Network dismantling, the process of strategically removing nodes or edges to maximize damage, is a known NP-hard problem. While heuristics for node removal exist, edge network …
From physics to engineering, biology and social science, natural and artificial systems are characterized by interconnected topologies whose features – e.g., heterogeneous connectivity, mesoscale organization, hierarchy – affect their robustness to …
