TLDR
Different models in the literature are reviewed to study the two types of cascading effects in interdependent networks, namely cascading failure in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and information cascade in coupled social networks.
Abstract
Modern systems are increasingly dependent upon and interacting with each other, and become interdependent networks. These interdependent networks may exhibit some interesting and even surprising behaviors due to the interdependency and the interplay between the constituent systems. In this article we focus on two important phenomena, namely cascading failure in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and information cascade in coupled social networks. Specifically, cascading failures may occur in CPS that exhibit functional interdependency between two constituent systems (e.g. smart grid); information cascade may happen in multiple social networks that are coupled together by so-called multi-membership individuals. This article explores these two types of cascading effects in interdependent networks by reviewing existing studies in the literature. We review different models in the literature to study the two types of cascading effects in interdependent networks, and highlight the key findings from these studies.

Catastrophic cascade of failures in interdependent networks

TL;DR: This work develops a framework for understanding the robustness of interacting networks subject to cascading failures and presents exact analytical solutions for the critical fraction of nodes that, on removal, will lead to a failure cascade and to a complete fragmentation of two interdependent networks.

Identifying Influential Spreaders in Complex Multilayer Networks: A Centrality Perspective

TL;DR: The purpose is to devise a method that can accurately detect nodes able to exert strong influence over the multilayer network, based solely on local knowledge of a network’s topology in order to be fast and scalable due to the huge size of the network, and thus suitable for both real-time applications and offline mining.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.

Error and attack tolerance of complex networks

TL;DR: It is found that scale-free networks, which include the World-Wide Web, the Internet, social networks and cells, display an unexpected degree of robustness, the ability of their nodes to communicate being unaffected even by unrealistically high failure rates.

Random graphs with arbitrary degree distributions and their applications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in some cases random graphs with appropriate distributions of vertex degree predict with surprising accuracy the behavior of the real world, while in others there is a measurable discrepancy between theory and reality, perhaps indicating the presence of additional social structure in the network that is not captured by the random graph.
