Explore Effect of Connection Radius on Cascading Robustness of Spatial Networks

Previous research on the robustness of spatial networks has primarily focused on network topologies and attack schemes. However, the connection radius of the network’s nodes can also influence the network’s escalating robustness. In this essay, we investigate a novel component that affects the robustness of spatial networks with cascading failures by introducing the concept of target nodes. We discuss the impacts of the target nodes' connection radius on network robustness. Scale-free networks and random networks are two different forms of spatial network topologies that have their resilience performance evaluated. Moreover, based on the characteristics of the target nodes. The target nodes are designed based on new expansion tactics. The experimental results indicate that changing the connection radius of nodes will result in varying degrees of cascading network failure. Furthermore, cascading failures can occur in various situations and networks.
