This book is devoted to the probabilisticof the behavior of a network in the process of random removal of its components (links, nodes) appearing as a result of technical failures, natural disasters or intentional attacks. It is focused on a practical approach to network reliability and resilience evaluation, based on applications of Monte Carlo methodology to numerical approximation of network combinatorial invariants, including so-called multidimensional destruction spectra. This allows to develop a probabilistic follow-up analysis of the network in the process of its gradual destruction, to identify most important network components and to develop efficient heuristic algorithms for network optimal design. Our methodology works with satisfactory accuracy and efficiency for most applications of reliability theory to real -life problems in networks.

This book is devoted to the probabilisticof a network in the process of its destruction, i.e. removal of its components (links, nodes) appearing as a result of technical failures, natural disasters or intentional attacks . It is focused on a practical approach to network reliability, based on application of Monte Carlo methodology to numerical evaluation of network most important structural parameters. This allows to obtain a probabilisticof the network in the process of its destruction, to identify most important network components and to develop efficient heuristic algorithms for network optimal design. The methodology works with satisfactory accuracy and efficiency for small -to-medium size networks.
