תקציר	Small-world and scale-free network analysis tests whether a real-world network exhibits two landmark topological signatures identified in 1998-1999: the Watts-Strogatz small-world property (high local clustering combined with short average path lengths) and the Barabási-Albert scale-free property (a degree distribution that follows a power law, meaning a small number of hubs connect to a disproportionately large share of other nodes). Together these frameworks transformed network science by showing that many social, biological, and technological networks share a common structural grammar.	Network resilience and vulnerability analysis is an analytical framework, formalised by Albert, Jeong, and Barabási (2000), that measures how a network degrades functionally as nodes or edges are progressively removed. By running targeted-attack simulations — removing the highest-centrality nodes first — and random-failure simulations — removing nodes at uniform probability — the framework identifies which structural elements are critical to network integrity and where infrastructure is most exposed.
