Enhancing Controllability Robustness of q-Snapback Networks through Redirecting Edges.

The well-known small-world network model was established by randomly rewiring edges, aiming to enhance the synchronizability of an undirected nearest-neighbor regular network. This paper demonstrates via extensive numerical simulations that randomly redirecting edges could enhance the robustness of the network controllability for directed snapback networks against both random and intentional node-removal and edge-removal attacks.
