By using the random interchanging algorithm, we investigate the relations between average distance, standard deviation of degree distribution and synchronizability of complex networks. We find that both increasing the average distance and…
In this paper, we investigate the factors that affect the synchronization of coupled oscillators on networks. By using the edge-intercrossing method, we keep the degree distribution unchanged to see other statistical properties' effects on…
Many complex networks display strong heterogeneity in the degree (connectivity) distribution. Heterogeneity in the degree distribution often reduces the average distance between nodes but, paradoxically, may suppress synchronization in…
Among the several topological properties of complex networks, the shortest path represents a particularly important characteristic because of its potential impact not only on other topological properties, but mainly for its influence on…
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…
Recent studies have shown that synchronizability of complex networks can be significantly improved by asymmetric couplings, and increase of coupling gradient is always in favor of network synchronization. Here we argue and demonstrate that,…
By a model of coupled phase oscillators, we show analytically how synchronization in {\em non-identical} complex networks can be enhanced by introducing a proper gradient into the couplings. It is found that, by pointing the gradient from…
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 investigate the optimization of synchronizability in multiplex networks and demonstrate that the interlayer coupling strength is the deciding factor for the efficiency of optimization. The optimized networks have homogeneity in the…
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…
In this Letter we identify the general rules that determine the synchronization properties of interconnected networks. We study analytically, numerically and experimentally how the degree of the nodes through which two networks are…
The understanding of emergent collective phenomena in natural and social systems has driven the interest of scientists from different disciplines during decades. Among these phenomena, the synchronization of a set of interacting individuals…
Small-world and scale-free networks are known to be more easily synchronized than regular lattices, which is usually attributed to the smaller network distance between oscillators. Surprisingly, we find that networks with a homogeneous…
The study of network synchronization has attracted increasing attention recently. In this paper, we strictly define a class of networks, namely effective networks, which are synchronizable and orientable networks. We can prove that all the…
We investigate in depth the synchronization of coupled oscillators on top of complex networks with different degrees of heterogeneity within the context of the Kuramoto model. In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 034101 (2007)], we…
A widely held assumption on network dynamics is that similar components are more likely to exhibit similar behavior than dissimilar ones and that generic differences among them are necessarily detrimental to synchronization. Here, we show…
This paper investigates synchronization phenomena in networks of coupled oscillators governed by three-time-scale dynamical systems exhibiting canard dynamics. A mathematical framework has been developed to analyze the synchronization of…
There are three key factors of a system of coupled oscillators that characterize the interaction among them: coupling (how to affect), delay (when to affect) and topology (whom to affect). For each of them, the existing work has mainly…
The contradiction between the fact that many empirical networks possess power-law degree distribution and the finding that network of heterogeneous degree distribution is difficult to synchronize has been a paradox in the study of network…
We study optimal synchronization in networks of heterogeneous phase oscillators. Our main result is the derivation of a synchrony alignment function that encodes the interplay between network structure and oscillators' frequencies and can…
