Abstract: Complex networks are often subjected to failure and attack. Recent work has addressed the resilience of complex networks to either random or intentional deletion of nodes or links. Here we simulate the breakdown of the small-world network and the scale-free network under node failure or attacks. We analyze and discuss the dynamic correlation between degree and betweenness in the process of attack. The simulation results show that the correlation for scale-free network obeys a power law distribution until the network collapses, while it represents irregularly for small-world network.
