This chapter analyzes optimal attack-tolerant network design and augmentation strategies for bounded-diameter networks. In the definitions of attack tolerance used in this chapter, we generally require that a network has a guaranteed ability to maintain not only the overall connectivity, but also preserve the same diameter after multiple failures of network components (nodes and/or edges), regardless of whether these failures are random or targeted. This property is referred to as “strong” attack tolerance, whereas the property of a network to maintain just the regular connectivity after node/edge failures (with no explicit restriction on the diameter), such as in the case of K-connected networks, is referred to as “weak” attack tolerance. We analyze necessary and sufficient conditions for guaranteed “weak” and “strong” attack tolerance properties for fixed-diameter networks, including the important special case of diameter-2 (two-hop) networks. We demonstrate that the recently introduced concept of an R-robust 2-club is the only diameter-2 network configuration that is guaranteed to have a strong attack tolerance property (i.e., maintain both connectivity and diameter 2) after any R − 1 edges are deleted. Furthermore, we demonstrate that if all edges have the same construction cost, the problem of optimal R-robust 2-club network design has an exact analytical solution that requires O(Rn) constructed edges, which makes this configuration asymptotically as cost-efficient as a regular sparse connected network. We also give linear 0–1 formulations for related network design and augmentation problems with different edge construction costs, which are NP-hard in the general case. Illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the considered concepts and results.
