Frontiers | Effect of network structure on the accuracy of resilience dimension reduction

Dimension reduction is an effective method for system’s resilience analysis. In this paper, we investigate the effect of network structure on the accuracy of resilience dimension reduction. First, we introduce the resilience dimension reduction method and define the evaluation indicator of the resilience dimension reduction method. Then, by adjusting node connections, preferential connection mechanisms, and connection probabilities, we generate artificial networks, small-world networks and social networks with tunable assortativity coefficients, average clustering coefficients, and modularities, respectively. Experimental results for the gene regulatory dynamics show that the network structures with positive assortativity, large clustering coefficient, and significant community can enhance the accuracy of resilience dimension reduction. The result of this paper indicates that optimizing network structure can enhance the accuracy of resilience dimension reduction, which is of great significance for system resilience analysis and provides a new perspective and theoretical basis for selecting dimension reduction methods in system resilience analysis.
