A recently proposed dimensional reduction approach for studying synchronization in the Kuramoto model is employed to build optimal network topologies to favor or to suppress synchronization. The approach is based in the introduction of a…

Collective synchronization is often summarized by a complex order parameter $R e^{i\Psi}$, implicitly treating the global phase $\Psi$ as a meaningful macroscopic coordinate. Here we ask when $\Psi$ becomes \emph{operationally well-defined}…
