Most real-world networks display not only a heterogeneous distribution of degrees, but also a heterogeneous distribution of weights in the strengths of the connections. Each of these heterogeneities alone has been shown to suppress…
Heterogeneity in the degree (connectivity) distribution has been shown to suppress synchronization in networks of symmetrically coupled oscillators with uniform coupling strength (unweighted coupling). Here we uncover a condition for…
Link weight is crucial in weighted complex networks. It provides additional dimension for describing and adjusting the properties of networks. The topological role of weight is studied by the effects of random redistribution of link weights…
We show that subsets of interacting oscillators may synchronize in different ways within a single network. This diversity of synchronization patterns is promoted by increasing the heterogeneous distribution of coupling weights and/or…
The analysis of networks characterized by links with heterogeneous intensity or weight suffers from two long-standing problems of arbitrariness. On one hand, the definitions of topological properties introduced for binary graphs can be…

The geometric renormalization technique for complex networks has successfully revealed the multiscale self-similarity of real network topologies and can be applied to generate replicas at different length scales. In this letter, we extend…
We review the main tools which allow for the statistical characterization of weighted networks. We then present two case studies, the airline connection network and the scientific collaboration network, which are representative of critical…
Complex systems in the real world can be modeled as a network of connected components. The human brain, as a network of neurons among which the interactions cause perception, is a complex network. Synchronization is a dynamical phenomenon…
In real networks complex topological features are often associated with a diversity of interactions as measured by the weights of the links. Moreover, spatial constraints may as well play an important role, resulting in a complex interplay…
We consider synchronization of weighted networks, possibly with asymmetrical connections. We show that the synchronizability of the networks cannot be directly inferred from their statistical properties. Small local changes in the network…
Synchrony is one of the most common dynamical states emerging on networks. The speed of convergence towards synchrony provides a fundamental collective time scale for synchronizing systems. Here we study the asymptotic synchronization times…

In this paper, we propose a new model that allows us to investigate this competitive aspect of real networks in quantitative terms. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we find that the competitive network have the…
We propose a novel measure of degree heterogeneity, for unweighted and undirected complex networks, which requires only the degree distribution of the network for its computation. We show that the proposed measure can be applied to all…
We present a formula for determining synchronizability in large, randomized and weighted simplicial complexes. This formula leverages eigenratios and costs to assess complete synchronizability under diverse network topologies and intensity…
We study expanding circle maps interacting in a heterogeneous random network. Heterogeneity means that some nodes in the network are massively connected, while the remaining nodes are only poorly connected. We provide a probabilistic…
The ability to achieve coordinated behavior --engineered or emergent-- on networked systems has attracted widespread interest over several fields. This has led to remarkable advances on the development of a theoretical understanding of the…
Synchronization of networked oscillators is known to depend fundamentally on the interplay between the dynamics of the graph's units and the microscopic arrangement of the network's structure. For non identical elements, the lack of…
We present exact results, as well as some illustrative Monte Carlo simulations, concerning a stochastic network with weighted connections in which the fraction of nodes that are dynamically synchronized is a parameter. This allows one to…
