Manipulation of extreme events on scale-free networks.
Extreme events taking place on networks are not uncommon. We show that it is possible to manipulate the extreme event occurrence probabilities and distribution over the nodes of a scale-free network by tuning the nodal capacity. This can be used to reduce the number of extreme event occurrences. However, monotonic nodal capacity enhancements, beyond a point, do not lead to any substantial reduction in the number of extreme events. We point out the practical implication of this result for network design in the context of reducing extreme event occurrences.
