Abstract

The concept of vulnerability in the context of complex networks quantifies the capacity of a network to maintain its functional performance under random damages, malicious attacks, or malfunctions of any kind. Different types of networks and different applications suggest different approaches to the concept of networks structural vulnerability depending on the aspect we focus upon. In this introductory chapter, we discuss some different approaches and relationships amongst them.
