Summary :

When a disaster hits a network, network service disruptions can occur even if the network facilities have survived and battery and power generators are provided. This is because in the event of a disaster, the power supply will not be restarted within the lifetime of the battery or oil transportation will not be restarted before running out of oil and power will be running out. Therefore, taking a power grid into account is important. This paper proposes a polynomial-time algorithm to identify the critical location C*D of a communications network Nc when a disaster hits. Electrical power grid Np supplies power to the nodes of Nc, and a link in Nc is disconnected when a node or a link in Nc or Np fails. Here, the disaster area is modeled as co-centric disks and the failure probability is higher in the inner disk than the outer one. The location of the center of the disaster with the greatest expected number of disconnected links in Nc is taken as the critical location C*D.
