* = 1. All the components of size h = 1 are deleted (q(1) = 1), and all the components of size h ≥ 3 are preserved (q(3) = q(4) = ... = q(h

max
is the maximum value of h). The curves represent the case q(2) = 0.3 (●, 
), for which there is a continuous transition, and q(2) = 0.85 (
, 
), which leads to an abrupt breakdown of the order parameter. The dashed lines represent the theoretical results and the symbols the stochastic simulations. (a) Network A, (b) Network B.
