Enhancing synchronizability of weighted dynamical networks using betweenness centrality

Physics and Society 2008-12-31 v1

Abstract

By considering the eigenratio of the Laplacian of the connection graph as synchronizability measure, we propose a procedure for weighting dynamical networks to enhance theirsynchronizability. The method is based on node and edge betweenness centrality measures and is tested on artificially const ructed scale-free, Watts-Strogatz and random networks as well as on some real-world graphs. It is also numerically shown that the same procedure could be used to enhance the phase synchronizability of networks of nonidentical oscillators.
