Abstract: Complex network dismantling is essential for understanding the resilience of interconnected systems, including transportation, communication and other critical infrastructure networks. Given its multidisciplinary nature, the extant literature on network dismantling is rather scattered across various scientific outlets. This review provides an in-depth examination of the recent advancements in complex network dismantling. We synthesize proposed methodologies, provide an overview on the wide range of utilized datasets, develop a structured overview on the reported insights, and finally aggregate future research directions proposed in these extant studies. Through this comprehensive analysis across a multitude of domains, our review aims to equip researchers from different fields with a better understanding of the status quo in network dismantling, facilitating further innovation and practical implementations.
