(a) Decrease in fractional size of LSCC as a function of loss of spines is studied for different values of network size N. We observe that the critical time at which the networks breakdown appears to converge to a critical time Tc as N increases. (a) Scaling in the behaviour of LSCC with N near the transition obtained by plotting Tc values against (1/N). The intercept on the y-axis gives the value of Tc in the large size limit as ≈150 days and the slope gives the value of scaling index β as 1.0. The results shown for networks of size N = 104 and link density of 10 are averaged over 100 realizations.
