The self-consistent probabilistic approach has proven itself powerful in studying the percolation behavior of interdependent or multiplex networks without tracking the percolation process through each cascading step. In order to understand how directed dependency links impact criticality, we employ this approach to study the percolation properties of networks with both undirected connectivity links and directed dependency links. We find that when a random network with a given degree distribution undergoes a second-order phase transition, the critical point and the unstable regime surrounding the second-order phase transition regime are determined by the proportion of nodes that do not depend on any other nodes. Moreover, we also find that the triple point and the boundary between first- and second-order transitions are determined by the proportion of nodes that depend on no more than one node. This implies that it is maybe general for multiplex network systems, some important properties of phase transitions can be determined only by a few parameters. We illustrate our findings using Erdos-Renyi (ER) networks.

We study the percolation in coupled networks with both inner-dependency and inter-dependency links, where the inner- and inter-dependency links represent the dependencies between nodes in the same or different networks, respectively. We find that whe n most of dependency links are inner- or inter-ones, the coupled networks system is fragile and makes a discontinuous percolation transition. However, when the numbers of two types of dependency links are close to each other, the system is robust and makes a continuous percolation transition. This indicates that the high density of dependency links could not always lead to a discontinuous percolation transition as the previous studies. More interestingly, although the robustness of the system can be optimized by adjusting the ratio of the two types of dependency links, there exists a critical average degree of the networks for coupled random networks, below which the crossover of the two types of percolation transitions disappears, and the system will always demonstrate a discontinuous percolation transition. We also develop an approach to analyze this model, which is agreement with the simulation results well.
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 di fferent between different nodes. We find that the heterogeneous dependency strength will make the system more robust, and for various distributions of dependency strengths both continuous and discontinuous percolation transitions can be found. For ErdH{o}s-R{e}nyi networks, we prove that the crossing point of the continuous and discontinuous percolation transitions is dependent on the first five moments of the dependency strength distribution. This indicates that the discontinuous percolation transition on networks with dependency is determined not only by the dependency strength but also by its distribution. Furthermore, in the area of the continuous percolation transition, we also find that the critical point depends on the first and second moments of the dependency strength distribution. To validate the theoretical analysis, cases with two different dependency strengths and Gaussian distribution of dependency strengths are presented as examples.

Real data show that interdependent networks usually involve inter-similarity. Intersimilarity means that a pair of interdependent nodes have neighbors in both networks that are also interdependent (Parshani et al cite{PAR10B}). For example, the coupl ed world wide port network and the global airport network are intersimilar since many pairs of linked nodes (neighboring cities), by direct flights and direct shipping lines exist in both networks. Nodes in both networks in the same city are regarded as interdependent. If two neighboring nodes in one network depend on neighboring nodes in the another we call these links common links. The fraction of common links in the system is a measure of intersimilarity. Previous simulation results suggest that intersimilarity has considerable effect on reducing the cascading failures, however, a theoretical understanding on this effect on the cascading process is currently missing. Here, we map the cascading process with inter-similarity to a percolation of networks composed of components of common links and non common links. This transforms the percolation of inter-similar system to a regular percolation on a series of subnetworks, which can be solved analytically. We apply our analysis to the case where the network of common links is an ErdH{o}s-R{e}nyi (ER) network with the average degree $K$, and the two networks of non-common links are also ER networks. We show for a fully coupled pair of ER networks, that for any $Kgeq0$, although the cascade is reduced with increasing $K$, the phase transition is still discontinuous. Our analysis can be generalized to any kind of interdependent random networks system.
Previous work on undirected small-world networks established the paradigm that locally structured networks tend to have high density of short loops. On the other hand, many realistic networks are directed. Here we investigate the local organization o f directed networks and find, surprisingly, that real networks often have very few short loops as compared to random models. We develop a theory and derive conditions for determining if a given network has more or less loops than its randomized counterpart. These findings carry broad implications for structural and dynamical processes sustained by directed networks.
The concept of temporal networks provides a framework to understand how the interaction between system components changes over time. In empirical communication data, we often detect non-Poissonian, so-called bursty behavior in the activity of nodes a s well as in the interaction between nodes. However, such reconciliation between node burstiness and link burstiness cannot be explained if the interaction processes on different links are independent of each other. This is because the activity of a node is the superposition of the interaction processes on the links incident to the node and the superposition of independent bursty point processes is not bursty in general. Here we introduce a temporal network model based on bursty node activation and show that it leads to heavy-tailed inter-event time distributions for both node dynamics and link dynamics. Our analysis indicates that activation processes intrinsic to nodes give rise to dynamical correlations across links. Our framework offers a way to model competition and correlation between links, which is key to understanding dynamical processes in various systems.
