Abstract

This chapter reports a critical phenomenon in a self-repair network by mutual copying. Extensive studies have been done on critical phenomena in many fields such as in epidemic theory and in percolation theory in order to identify critical points. However, critical phenomena have hardly been studied from the viewpoint of cleaning up a network by mutual copying. A critical phenomenon has been observed in a self-repair network. Self-repairing by mutual copying is “a double-edged sword” that could cause outbreaks if parameters are inappropriate, and therefore careful investigations are needed.
