On synchronization in scale-free dynamical networks

Recent advances in complex network research have stimulated increasing interests in understanding the relationship between the topology and dynamics of complex networks. In this work, we study the synchronizability of a class of continuous-time dynamical networks with scale-free topologies. Furthermore, we propose a synchronization-optimal growth topology model. We also investigate the robustness of the synchronizability of the scale-free dynamical networks with respect to random and specific removal of nodes.
