On Link Density and Network Synchronization in Scale-Free Network

Abstract:

The relations between link density and network synchronizability based on scale-free weighted networks is investigated. In this work, it shows that synchronizability of networks Type I decrease along with the increases of link density, when the netwrok size is fixed. While the synchronizability of networks Type II is remarkable decreased by enhancing the link density with different network size.
