Abstract:
The emergence of explosive synchronization transitions in networks of phase oscillators recently has become one of the most interesting topics. It is widely believed that the large frequency mismatch of a pair of oscillators (also known as disassortativity in frequency) is a direct cause of an explosive synchronization. It is found that, besides the disassortativity in frequency, the disassortativity in node degree also shows up in connection with the first-order synchronization transition. In this paper, we simulate the Kuramoto model on top of a family of networks with different degree-degree and frequency-frequency correlation patterns. Results show that only when the degrees and natural frequencies of the network's nodes are both disassortative can an explosive synchronization occur.
