Abstract(in English) Link addition is a promising approach for improving the robustness of networks against intentional attacks. Existing link addition strategies add links without any knowledge about the attacker's strategy. If the attacker's strategy is known, and the nodes that are to be removed are known in advance, the effectiveness of link addition strategies is expected to be improved. In this paper, we propose a link addition strategy that utilizes the knowledge about the attacker's strategy. The proposed strategy predicts nodes that will be removed by the attacker. Then, links are added so that the giant component of the network under the predicted attacker's strategy is maximized. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed link addition strategy through experiments. Our results show that (1) the proposed strategy is effective for improving the robustness of scale-free networks when the predicted strategy is equivalent to the actual attacker's strategy, (2) even when the predicted strategy and actual attacker's strategy are different, the proposed link addition strategy is as effective as the existing link addition strategies, and (3) the proposed link addition strategy is not effective for improving the robustness of non-scale-free random networks.
