Analysis of Network Robustness in Scale-Free Networks

This research paper was completed in fulfillment of requirements for the Network Science course as a part of the Masters in Data Science program at Indiana University-Bloomington in May 2019. The goal of this research is to analyze the network robustness of scale-free networks. What makes the scale-free networks robust ? Does the presence of large hubs make the difference ? We intend to answer and provide reasoning about the robustness of scale-free networks through comparison analysis of biological, Internet and NetworkX scale-free networks during the course of this project
