Main Abstract:
Percolation threshold of a network is the critical value such that when nodes or edges are randomly selected with probability below the value, the network is fragmented but when the probability is above the value, a giant component connecting a large portion of the network would emerge. Assessing the percolation threshold of networks has wide applications in network reliability, information spread, epidemic control, etc. The theoretical approach so far to assess the percolation threshold is mainly based on spectral radius of adjacency matrix or non-backtracking matrix, which is limited to dense graphs or locally treelike graphs, and is less effective for sparse networks with non-negligible amount of triangles and loops. In this paper, we study high-order non-backtracking matrices and their application to assessing percolation threshold. We first define high-order non-backtracking matrices and study the properties of their spectral radii. Then we focus on the 2nd-order non-backtracking matrix and demonstrate analytically that the reciprocal of its spectral radius gives a tighter lower bound than those of adjacency and standard non-backtracking matrices. We further build a smaller size matrix with the same largest eigenvalue as the 2nd-order non-backtracking matrix to improve computation efficiency. Finally, we use both synthetic networks and 42 real networks to illustrate that the use of the 2nd-order non-backtracking matrix does give better lower bound for assessing percolation threshold than adjacency and standard non-backtracking matrices.

[1]: In this paper we determine the percolation threshold for an arbitrary sequence of dense graphs (G n ). Let λn be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G n , and let G n (p n ) be the random subgraph of G n obtained by keeping each edge independently with probability p n . We show that the appearance of a giant component in G n (p n ) has a sharp threshold at p n = 1 λ n . In fact, we prove much more: if (G n ) converges to an irreducible limit, then the density of the largest component of G n (c n) tends to the survival probability of a multi-type branching process defined in terms of this limit. Here the notions of convergence and limit are those of Borgs, Chayes, Lovasz, S6s and Vesztergombi. In addition to using basic properties of convergence, we make heavy use of the methods of Bollobas, Janson and Riordan, who used multi-type branching processes to study the emergence of a giant component in a very broad family of sparse inhomogeneous random graphs.
Bollob 'as . [1] show that the percolation threshold of dense graph is reciprocal of the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. However, the conclusion requires restrictive conditions for the networks. Especially for sparse networks, this estimation can be only regarded as providing a lower bound for the true percolation threshold.
