We show that a network can self-organize its structure in a completely distributed manner in order to optimize its synchronizability whilst satisfying the local constraints: non-negativity of edge weights, and maximum weighted degree of…

Using a simple model with link removals as well as link additions, we show that an evolving network is scale free with a degree exponent in the range of (2, 4]. We then establish a relation between the network evolution and a set of…
