Abstract

Realization of highly tolerant networks against malicious attacks is an important issue, since many real-world networks are extremely vulnerable to attacks. Thus, we investigate the optimal robustness of connectivity against attacks on networks in changing degree distribution ranging from power-law to exponential or narrower ones. It is numerically found that the smaller variances of degree distributions lead to higher robustness in this range. Our results will provide important insights toward optimal robustness against attacks in changing degree distributions.
