Abstract:The robustness of complex network against cascading failures is of great significance.Based on the weighted scale-free network, a new cascading failure model with adjustable parameters is proposed.In this model, the nodes' initial loads are constructed with node betweenness, node degree, node weight and neighbor node's weight from both global and local perspective.Meanwhile, the initial load is made proportional to the node capacity.Adopting a new redistribution rule, the failed nodes' loads are assigned to their neighbors.Then the load parameters can be obtained through analyzing the cascade failure process.Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by experiment.
