Abstract:
We develop a methodology for analyzing the percolation phenomena of two mutually coupled (interdependent) networks based on the cavity method of statistical mechanics. In particular, we take into account the influence of degree-degree correlations inside and between the networks on the network robustness against targeted (random degree-dependent) attacks and random failures. We show that the developed methodology is reduced to the well-known generating function formalism in the absence of degree-degree correlations. The validity of the developed methodology is confirmed by a comparison with the results of numerical experiments. Our analytical results indicate that the robustness of the interdependent networks depends on both the intranetwork and internetwork degree-degree correlations in a nontrivial way for both cases of random failures and targeted attacks.
