Many systems such as critical infrastructure exhibit a modular structure with many links within the modules and few links between them. One approach to increase the robustness of these systems is to reinforce a fraction of the nodes in each module, so that the reinforced nodes provide additional needed sources for themselves as well as for their nearby neighborhood. Since reinforcing a node can be an expensive task, the efficiency of the decentralization process by reinforced nodes is vital. In our study we analyze a new model which combines both above mentioned features of real complex systems - modularity and reinforced nodes. Using tools from percolation theory, we derived an analytical solution for any partition of reinforced nodes; between nodes which have links that connect them to other modules (inter-nodes) and nodes which have connections only within their modules (intra-nodes). Among our results, we find that near the critical percolation point ($papprox p_c$) the robustness is greatly affected by the distribution. In particular, we find a partition of reinforced nodes which yields an optimal robustness and we show that the optimal partition remains constant for high average degrees.
In interdependent networks, it is usually assumed, based on percolation theory, that nodes become nonfunctional if they lose connection to the network giant component. However, in reality, some nodes, equipped with alternative resources, together wit
Recently, the structural controllability theory has been introduced to analyze the Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network. The indispensable nodes, which their removal increase the number of driver nodes to control the network, are found essential
We discuss a model of motion of substance through the nodes of a channel of a network. The channel can be modeled by a chain of urns where each urn can exchange substance with the neighboring urns. In addition the urns can exchange substance with the
Many real systems are extremely vulnerable against attacks, since they are scale-free networks as commonly existing topological structure in them. Thus, in order to improve the robustness of connectivity, several edge rewiring methods have been so fa
In a recent work [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 108, 3838 (2011)], the authors proposed a simple measure for network robustness under malicious attacks on nodes. With a greedy algorithm, they found the optimal structure with respect to this quantity is
