Abstract

We study the robustness of complex networks under edge elimination. We propose three different edge elimination strategies and investigate their effects on the robustness of scale-free networks under intentional attack. We show that deleting a proper fraction of edges connecting hub nodes and hub nodes can enhance the robustness of scale-free networks under intentional attack.
