A1 - Kurths, Jürgen T1 - Universality in the synchronization of weighted random networks N2 - Realistic networks display not only a complex topological structure, but also a heterogeneous distribution of weights in the connection strengths. Here we study synchronization in weighted complex networks and show that the synchronizability of random networks with a large minimum degree is determined by two leading parameters: the mean degree and the heterogeneity of the distribution of node's intensity, where the intensity of a node, defined as the total strength of input connections, is a natural combination of topology and weights. Our results provide a possibility for the control of synchronization in complex networks by the manipulation of a few parameters Y1 - 2006 UR - https://publishup.uni-potsdam.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/32459 UR - http://prl.aps.org/pdf/PRL/v96/i3/e034101 ER -
