Graph coloring framework to mitigate cascading failure in complex networks

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cascading failures can severely impact networks. This research presents an algorithm that identifies critical nodes that mediate the failure propagation using local network topology. Protecting these nodes ensures near-complete network survivability.
