Abstract

The reliability of complex network is an important content in the research of complex networks. In order to evaluate the reliability of the complex network, the standard deviation of the degree values to characterize the heterogeneity of the network, considering the difference of the degree distribution, such as Poisson distribution and Power-laws distribution in random network and scale-free network, a function on the reliability of the complex network is defined with convergence and monotonicity which is proved. Under two failure models, random destruction and intentional attack, we simulate the reliability function by the proportion of removed edges. Then we analysis the relation between the network heterogeneity and network reliability. The results show that the reliability function is effective and applicable to assess the reliability of complex network.
