Cascading failures of overload behaviors using a new coupled network model between edges

With the development of network science,the coupling between networks has become the focus of complex network research.However,previous studies mainly focused on the coupling between nodes,while ignored the coupling between edges.We propose a novel cascading failure model of two-layer networks.The model considers the different loads and capacities of edges,as well as the elastic and coupling relationship between edges.In addition,a more flexible load-capacity strategy is adopted to verify the model.The simulation results show that the model is feasible.Different networks have different behaviors for the same parameters.By changing the load parameters,capacity parameters,overload parameters,and distribution parameters reasonably,the robustness of the model can be significantly improved.
