Percolation on multi-layer networks — •Filippo Radicchi — Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, United States

In this talk, I will review some of my recent papers about percolation on multi-layer networks. I will first illustrate a theoretical approach consisting in a system of heuristic equations able to approximate the phase diagram of the ordinary percolation model for arbitrary multi-layer networks. Second, I will introduce and characterize the redundant percolation model, a genuine model for multi-layer networks where the addition of new layers boosts system robustness by creating redundant interdependencies among layers. Third, I will generalize the problem of optimal percolation from single-layer to multi-layer networks, and present several algorithms for finding approximate solutions to the problem. Finally, I will present a large-deviation approach to ordinary percolation able to shed light on the importance of fluctuations in the study of percolation on real-world multi-layer networks.
