Percolation on networks with weak and heterogeneous dependency [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 95, 032301 (2017), 2016
In real networks, the dependency between nodes is ubiquitous; however, the dependency is not always complete and homogeneous. In this paper, we propose a percolation model with weak and heterogeneous dependency; i.e., dependency strengths could be different between different nodes. We find that the heterogeneous dependency strength will make the system
