The effect of localized disruption or failure in interdependent networks with internal community structure remains an open question. Adopting the generating function approach, the authors are able to uncover rich phase transition behaviours and the associated risks for such system, and by studying real networks under random failures within a community, they find that weakening the community strength could rapidly drive the system to a precarious state.
