Abstract:

With the development of network science and the emergence of complex systems theory, scholars have embarked on in-depth research on the structural and dynamic properties of complex networks. Among the dynamic properties of complex networks, cascading failures, as one of the most important research areas, describe a situation where a fault or error in a system or process leads to the failures of other related components or links. Various models and recovery strategies have been proposed for cascading failures in complex networks. This study analyzes the mechanisms of cascading failures, provides a comprehensive summary on the development of domestic and international cascading failure in complex networks, outlines the recovery strategies for addressing cascading failures, and highlights the existing issues and shortcomings in current research, providing valuable insights for future studies.

Key words: cascading failure, complex networks, multilayer networks, propagation properties, recovery strategies, percolation, network robustness
