Figure 1 Different Realizations of the Initial Damage

Caption

Di erent realizations of the initial damage are here shown to be more or less damaging for a network. Panel (a) shows an initial damage of a connected network a ecting exclusively two out of the N = 8 nodes of the network (blue nodes indicate damaged nodes green nodes indicate not damaged nodes). Panel (b) shows that this initial damage is very disruptive for the network and results in giant component of size R = 1. Panel (c) shows another initial damage con guration of the same network which a ects only two nodes of network. In this case panel (d) shows that the e ect of the damage are reduced and most of the network remains connected resulting in a giant component R = 6.
