title: Cascading failures in coupled map lattices.
abstract: Large cascades triggered by initial shocks are common in complex networks. Coupled map lattices have been widely used over the past decades as dynamical models of complex systems. Here we investigate cascading failures in coupled map lattices with different topologies. We find that cascading failures are much easier to occur in small-world and scale-free coupled map lattices than in globally coupled map lattices.
