摘要
A new characteristic (residual closeness) which can measure the network resistance is presented. It evaluates closeness after removal of vertices or links, hence two types are considered-vertices and links residual closeness. This characteristic is more sensitive than the well-known measures of vulnerability-it captures the result of actions even if they are small enough not to disconnect the graph. A definition for closeness is modified so it still can be used for unconnected graphs but the calculations are easier. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
