The adaptive coupling scheme and the heterogeneity in intrinsic frequency and degree distributions of the complex networks

In the paper, we applied an adaptive principle to three kinds of complex networks as well as a random network within the context of the Kuramoto model. We found that the adaptive scheme could suppress the negative effect of the heterogeneity in the networks and the phase synchronization is enhanced...

Description
Summary:In the paper, we applied an adaptive principle to three kinds of complex networks as well as a random network within the context of the Kuramoto model. We found that the adaptive scheme could suppress the negative effect of the heterogeneity in the networks and the phase synchronization is enhanced obviously. The paper mainly investigates the adaptive coupling scheme in the small-world network, the scale-free network, and the modular network. Comparing with other weighted or unweighted static coupling schemes, the adaptive coupling scheme has a better performance in synchronization and communication efficiency, and provides a more realistic picture of synchronization in complex networks.
