ON SYNCHRONIZABILITY OF DYNAMICAL LOCAL-WORLD NETWORKS
Shiwen Sun, Zhongxin Liu, Zengqiang Chen, Zhuzhi Yuan · International Journal of Modern Physics B · 2008
Synchronization phenomena in dynamical systems with local-world topologies are investigated. The effect of local-world size M on the synchronizability is studied. A larger M makes networks more synchronizable. Then the ability of dynamical networks to resist random errors and attacks is analyzed and compared with those of scale-free and exponential networks. Two attacking strategies are adopted, and a better quantity is used to measure the changes in synchronizability after node removal.
