Extreme events on multiplex networks with asymmetric interlayer coupling

Key Points

• Extreme events manifest in multiplex networks due to asymmetric interlayer coupling, affecting network stability.
• The study identifies critical interactions that lead to cascading failures across layers, enhancing our understanding of network dynamics.
• Analysis of multiplex network configurations highlights how coupling strength varies and affects system performance.
• Understanding these dynamics may enable improved designs for resilient networks in various applications.
