Abstract
Inspired by analyzing the reliability of energy networks, particularly the occurrence of large blackouts, we consider a stylized model of cascading failures. By using connections with extreme value theory and Brownian bridge approximations, we establish that the number of failed nodes follow a power law. Time permitting, we also discuss connections with similar models and questions from material science.
