Synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators in scale-free networks

Abstract

In this work, we study the synchronization of coupled phase oscillators on\nthe underlying topology of scale-free networks. In particular, we assume that\neach network's component is an oscillator and that each interacts with the\nothers following the Kuramoto model. We then study the onset of global phase\nsynchronization and fully characterize the system's dynamics. We also found\nthat the resynchronization time of a perturbed node decays as a power law of\nits connectivity, providing a simple analytical explanation to this interesting\nbehavior.\n
