The Influence of Structure Heterogeneity on Resilience in Regional Innovation Networks

Abstract

The presence of structure heterogeneity in regional innovation networks reflects the complexity and diversity of knowledge diffusion and collaborative R& D relationships. This article introduces a network model based on the multiple systems generating functions mathematical algorithm to analyze the resilience of interacting networks under different link patterns. The percolation threshold is illustrated at two different levels: the subcritical and supercritical states. The algorithm is then tested on both simulated networks and real-world networks. The results of the simulation study highlight the crucial role of linking between sub-networks and emphasize the effectiveness of a moderate degree protection strategy.
