Shorter characteristic path length may not always improve oscillator system synchronizability due to degree distribution heterogeneity. Betweenness centrality emerges as a reliable indicator for predicting synchronizability in complex networks.

Area of Science:

  • Complex network theory
  • Nonlinear dynamics
  • Systems biology

Background:

  • Synchronizability in coupled oscillator systems is crucial for various phenomena.
  • Shorter characteristic path length is traditionally linked to enhanced synchronizability.
  • Degree distribution heterogeneity can suppress synchronizability, even with short path lengths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors influencing synchronizability in complex networks.
  • To clarify the role of characteristic path length and degree heterogeneity.
  • To identify reliable indicators for system synchronizability.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of coupled oscillator systems on complex networks.
  • Evaluation of network properties: degree, characteristic path length, heterogeneity, and betweenness centrality.

  • Correlation analysis between network metrics and synchronization levels.

    • Main Results:

    • A consistent trend was observed between synchronization and betweenness centrality.
    • Degree heterogeneity can counteract the positive effects of shorter characteristic path length.
    • Betweenness centrality demonstrated a strong correlation with synchronizability.

    Conclusions:

    • Betweenness centrality is proposed as a robust indicator for the synchronizability of complex networks.
    • Network heterogeneity plays a significant role in modulating synchronizability.
    • Rethinking the sole reliance on characteristic path length for predicting synchronizability is warranted.
