Abstract This paper proposes a high-low-order coupled network model to gain a deeper understanding of the interdependent relationships in real-world network systems and address the cascade failure issues faced by complex networks and their higher-order networks. This model describes the interdependencies between complex networks (lower-order networks) and their higher-order organizations (higher-order networks). Their vulnerability is analyzed by subjecting the high-low-order coupled networks to random attacks. The study reveals that high-low-order coupled networks exhibit greater vulnerability to random attacks than standalone lower-order networks. This finding underscores the importance of considering the interdependencies between high and low-order networks in designing and managing complex network systems, particularly in preventing cascade failures, where special attention should be paid to the vulnerabilities of these interdependent structures.
