The Capacity Load Model of K-Uniform Hyper-Network based on Equal Load Distribution

Abstract

Cascading failures occur frequently in many network systems. In this paper, we propose a hyper-network Capacity Load Model based on hyper-edge degrees load to explore the influence of cascading failures on some K-uniform hyper-networks. In simulation, we attack the hyper-edge which has largest hyper-edge degree. When the hyper-edge fails, its load will be equally distributed to adjacent hyper-edges. Through simulation analysis, we get the relationship between the capacity-load model parameters and the robustness of the k-uniform hyper-network. The results show the robustness of the hyper-networks is enhanced with the increase of its hyper-edge capacity. In addition, simulation result show that the robustness of K-uniform hyper-networks is strongest at α=1.
