Synchronization in a Novel Local-World Dynamical Network Model

Abstract EN

Advances in complex network research have recently stimulated increasing interests in understanding the relationship between the topology and dynamics of complex networks.

In the paper, we study the synchronizability of a class of local-world dynamical networks.

Then, we have proposed a local-world synchronization-optimal growth topology model.

Compared with the local-world evolving network model, it exhibits a stronger synchronizability.

We also investigate the robustness of the synchronizability with respect to random failures and the fragility of the synchronizability with specific removal of nodes.
