TY - JOUR A1 - Li, Ping A1 - Chen, Maoyin A1 - Wu, Ye A1 - Kurths, Jürgen T1 - Matrix-measure criterion for synchronization in coupled-map networks N2 - We present conditions for the local and global synchronizations in coupled-map networks using the matrix measure approach. In contrast to many existing synchronization conditions, the proposed synchronization criteria do not depend on the solution of the synchronous state and give less limitation on the network connections. Numerical simulations of the coupled quadratic maps demonstrate the potentials of our main results.

By disturbing some nodes with different strategies, it is shown that the robustness of this kind of network can be enhanced due to the existence of communities in the networks. Some of the response patterns are found to coincide with topological communities. We show that such phenomena also occur in the cat brain network which is an example of a scale-free like network with community structure. Our results provide insights into the relationship between network topology and the functional organization in complex networks from another viewpoint.

Further, the size of networks that can be synchronizable exceeds by several orders of magnitude the size of unweighted networks.
