Abstract

The robustness of complex network is a core issue in complex network research. We agree that not all overload nodes will be removed from the network in real networks because some effective measures can be taken to protect them. But only a few researches consider this issue. Based on previous researches, we propose a cascading model with an improved breakdown probability. Different from previous breakdown probability model, the current model brings in some parameters to explore the optimal distribution strategy of the protection resources. Furthermore, we quantify the allocation of the protection resources. We explore the relationship between the parameters of our cascading model and the robustness of three networks (two typical networks and one real network), based on which we find out the optimal value of the parameter. It in turn helps us to quantify the allocation of protection resources and form an optimal protection strategy. Our work may be helpful for improving the robustness of complex networks.
