contents Cascading failures represent a fundamental threat to the integrity of complex systems, often precipitating a comprehensive collapse across diverse infrastructures and financial networks. This research articulates a robust and pragmatic approach designed to attenuate the risk of such failures within complex networks, emphasizing the pivotal role of local network topology. The core of our strategy is an innovative algorithm that systematically identifies a subset of critical nodes within the network, a subset whose relative size is substantial in the context of the network's entirety. Enhancing this algorithm, we employ a graph coloring heuristic to precisely isolate nodes of paramount importance, thereby minimizing the subset size while maximizing strategic value. Securing these nodes significantly bolsters network resilience against cascading failures. The method proposed to identify critical nodes and experimental results show that the proposed technique outperforms other typical techniques in identifying critical nodes. We substantiate the superiority of our approach through comparative analyses with existing mitigation strategies and evaluate its performance across various network configurations and failure scenarios. Empirical validation is provided via the application of our method to real-world networks, confirming its potential as a strategic tool in enhancing network robustness.
