From: Potential energy of complex networks: a quantum mechanical perspective
Left panel: largest connected component (LCC) fraction \(N'_{LCC}/N'\) vs average degree \(\langle k \rangle\) in the sampled subnetworks of the US power grid. Each point corresponds to a fixed subsampling size \(N'\): the ordinates represent the mean values obtained from \(M=100\) realizations and the error bars are the standard deviations of the respective distributions. The inset shows the behavior of the same quantity in the ER network ensemble. Right panel: power-law fit, on a log-log scale, of the LCC fraction for \(\langle k \rangle >1\), yielding \(N'_{LCC}/N'-(N'_{LCC}/N')|_{\langle k \rangle = 1} \sim (\langle k \rangle - 1)^{7.0\pm 0.1}\).
