•Scale-free networks are resistant to random node failures. As in, random node failures CANNOT destroy a scale-free network.
•
•Shlomo Havlin, Reuven
Choen, Keren Erez, and Daniel ben-Abraham showed
that to kill a scale-free network, it must have
a power law exponent of less than 3.
•
•All significant scale-free
networks found thus far have better than 3 for the
exponent, and are therefore practically
indestructible.
