Abstract
We explore adaptive link change strategies that can lead a system to network configurations that yield ordered dynamical states. We propose two adaptive strategies based on feedback from the global synchronization error. In the first strategy, the connectivity matrix changes if the instantaneous synchronization error is larger than a prescribed threshold. In the second strategy, the probability of a link changing at any instant of time is proportional to the magnitude of the instantaneous synchronization error. We demonstrate that both these strategies are capable of guiding networks to chaos suppression within a prescribed tolerance, in two prototypical systems of coupled chaotic maps. So, the adaptation works effectively as an efficient search in the vast space of connectivities for a configuration that serves to yield a targeted pattern. The mean synchronization error shows the presence of a sharply defined transition to very low values after a critical coupling strength, in all cases. For the first strategy, the total time during which a network undergoes link adaptation also exhibits a distinct transition to a small value under increasing coupling strength. Analogously, for the second strategy, the mean fraction of links that change in the network over time, after transience, drops to nearly zero, after a critical coupling strength, implying that the network reaches a static link configuration that yields the desired dynamics. These ideas can then potentially help us to devise control methods for extended interactive systems, as well as suggest natural mechanisms capable of regularizing complex networks.

Abstract
Complex network theory has offered a powerful platform for the study of several natural dynamic scenarios, based on the synergy between the interaction topology and the dynamics of its constituents. With research in network theory being developed so fast, it has become extremely necessary to move from simple network topologies to more sophisticated and realistic descriptions of the connectivity patterns. In this context, there is a significant amount of recent works that have emerged with enormous evidence establishing the time-varying nature of the connections among the constituents in a large number of physical, biological, and social systems. The recent review article by Ghosh et al. [Phys. Rep. 949, 1-63 (2022)] demonstrates the significance of the analysis of collective dynamics arising in temporal networks. Specifically, the authors put forward a detailed excerpt of results on the origin and stability of synchronization in time-varying networked systems. However, among the complex collective dynamical behaviors, the study of the phenomenon of oscillation suppression and that of other diverse aspects of synchronization are also considered to be central to our perception of the dynamical processes over networks. Through this review, we discuss the principal findings from the research studies dedicated to the exploration of the two collective states, namely, oscillation suppression and chimera on top of time-varying networks of both static and mobile nodes. We delineate how temporality in interactions can suppress oscillation and induce chimeric patterns in networked dynamical systems, from effective analytical approaches to computational aspects, which is described while addressing these two phenomena. We further sketch promising directions for future research on these emerging collective behaviors in time-varying networks.

Abstract
We numerically study Kuramoto model synchronization consisting of the two groups of conformist-contrarian and excitatory-inhibitory phase oscillators with equal intrinsic frequency. We consider random and small-world (SW) topologies for the connectivity network of the oscillators. In random networks, regardless of the contrarian to conformist connection strength ratio, we found a crossover from the π-state to the blurred π-state and then a continuous transition to the incoherent state by increasing the fraction of contrarians. However, for the excitatory-inhibitory model in a random network, we found that for all the values of the fraction of inhibitors, the two groups remain in phase and the transition point of fully synchronized to an incoherent state reduced by strengthening the ratio of inhibitory to excitatory links. In the SW networks we found that the order parameters for both models do not show monotonic behavior in terms of the fraction of contrarians and inhibitors. Up to the optimal fraction of contrarians and inhibitors, the synchronization rises by introducing the number of contrarians and inhibitors and then falls. We discuss that the nonmonotonic behavior in synchronization is due to the weakening of the defects already formed in the pure conformist and excitatory agent model in SW networks. We found that in SW networks, the optimal fraction of contrarians and inhibitors remain unchanged for the rewiring probabilities up to ∼0.15, above which synchronization falls monotonically, like the random network. We also showed that in the conformist-contrarian model, the optimal fraction of contrarians is independent of the strength of contrarian links. However, in the excitatory-inhibitory model, the optimal fraction of inhibitors is approximately proportional to the inverse of inhibition strength.

Abstract
Analysis of the robustness and vulnerability of metro networks has great implications for public transport planning and emergency management, particularly considering passengers' dynamic behaviors. This paper presents an improved coupled map lattices (CMLs) model based on graph attention networks (GAT) to study the cascading failure process of metro networks. The proposed model is applied to the Shanghai metro network using the automated fare collection (AFC) data, and the passengers' dynamic behaviors are simulated by GAT. The quantitative cascading failure analysis shows that Shanghai metro network is robust to random attacks, but fragile to intentional attacks. Moreover, there is an approximately normal distribution between instant cascading failure speed and time step and the perturbation in a station which leads to steady state is approximately a constant. The result shows that a station surrounded by other densely distributed stations can trigger cascading failure faster and the cascading failure triggered by low-level accidents will spread in a short time and disappear quickly. This study provides an effective reference for dynamic safety evaluation and emergency management in metro networks.

Abstract
We study the synchronization of small-world networks of identical coupled phase oscillators through the Kuramoto interaction and uniform time delay. For a given intrinsic frequency and coupling constant, we observe synchronization enhancement in a range of time delays and discontinuous transition from the partially synchronized state with defect patterns to a glassy phase, characterized by a distribution of randomly frozen phase-locked oscillators. By further increasing the time delay, this phase undergoes a discontinuous transition to another partially synchronized state. We found the bimodal frequency distributions and hysteresis loops as indicators of the discontinuous nature of these transitions. Moreover, we found the existence of Chimera states at the onset of transitions.

Abstract
We report a phenomenon of collective dynamics on discrete-time complex networks: a random temporal interaction matrix even of zero or/and small average is able to significantly enhance synchronization with probability one. According to current knowledge, there is no verifiably sufficient criterion for the phenomenon. We use the standard method of synchronization analytics and the theory of stochastic processes to establish a criterion, by which we rigorously and accurately depict how synchronization occurring with probability one is affected by the statistical characteristics of the random temporal connections such as the strength and topology of the connections as well as their probability distributions. We also illustrate the enhancement phenomenon using physical and biological complex dynamical networks.

Abstract
We demonstrate the occurrence of coexisting domains of partially coherent and incoherent patterns or simply known as chimera states in a network of globally coupled logistic maps upon addition of weak nonlocal topology. We find that the chimera states survive even after we disconnect nonlocal connections of some of the nodes in the network. Also, we show that the chimera states exist when we introduce symmetric gaps in the nonlocal coupling between predetermined nodes. We ascertain our results, for the existence of chimera states, by carrying out the recurrence quantification analysis and by computing the strength of incoherence. We extend our analysis for the case of small-world networks of coupled logistic maps and found the emergence of chimeralike states under the influence of weak nonlocal topology.

Abstract
The synchronization behavior of networked chaotic oscillators with periodic coupling is investigated. It is observed in simulations that the network synchronizability could be significantly influenced by tuning the coupling frequency, even making the network alternating between the synchronous and nonsynchronous states. Using the master stability function method, we conduct a detailed analysis of the influence of coupling frequency on network synchronizability and find that the network synchronizability is maximized at some characteristic frequencies comparable to the intrinsic frequency of the local dynamics. Moreover, it is found that as the amplitude of the coupling increases, the characteristic frequencies are gradually decreased. Using the finite-time Lyapunov exponent technique, we investigate further the mechanism for the maximized synchronizability and find that at the characteristic frequencies the power spectrum of the finite-time Lyapunov exponent is abruptly changed from the localized to broad distributions. When this feature is absent or not prominent, the network synchronizability is less influenced by the periodic coupling. Our study shows the efficiency of finite-time Lyapunov exponent in exploring the synchronization behavior of temporally coupled oscillators and sheds lights on the interplay between the system dynamics and structure in general temporal networks.

Abstract
One of the most challenging problems in network science is to accurately detect communities at distinct hierarchical scales. Most existing methods are based on structural analysis and manipulation, which are NP-hard. We articulate an alternative, dynamical evolution-based approach to the problem. The basic principle is to computationally implement a nonlinear dynamical process on all nodes in the network with a general coupling scheme, creating a networked dynamical system. Under a proper system setting and with an adjustable control parameter, the community structure of the network would "come out" or emerge naturally from the dynamical evolution of the system. As the control parameter is systematically varied, the community hierarchies at different scales can be revealed. As a concrete example of this general principle, we exploit clustered synchronization as a dynamical mechanism through which the hierarchical community structure can be uncovered. In particular, for quite arbitrary choices of the nonlinear nodal dynamics and coupling scheme, decreasing the coupling parameter from the global synchronization regime, in which the dynamical states of all nodes are perfectly synchronized, can lead to a weaker type of synchronization organized as clusters. We demonstrate the existence of optimal choices of the coupling parameter for which the synchronization clusters encode accurate information about the hierarchical community structure of the network. We test and validate our method using a standard class of benchmark modular networks with two distinct hierarchies of communities and a number of empirical networks arising from the real world. Our method is computationally extremely efficient, eliminating completely the NP-hard difficulty associated with previous methods. The basic principle of exploiting dynamical evolution to uncover hidden community organizations at different scales represents a "game-change" type of approach to addressing the problem of community detection in complex networks.

Abstract
Neurological disorders such as epileptic seizures are believed to be caused by neuronal synchrony. However, to ascertain the causal role of neuronal synchronization in such diseases through the traditional approach of electrophysiological data analysis remains a controversial, challenging, and outstanding problem. We offer an alternative principle to assess the physiological role of neuronal synchrony based on identifying structural anomalies in the underlying network and studying their impacts on the collective dynamics. In particular, we focus on autapses - time delayed self-feedback links that exist on a small fraction of neurons in the network, and investigate their impacts on network synchronization through a detailed stability analysis. Our main finding is that the proper placement of a small number of autapses in the network can promote synchronization significantly, providing the computational and theoretical bases for hypothesizing a high degree of synchrony in real neuronal networks with autapses. Our result that autapses, the shortest possible links in any network, can effectively modulate the collective dynamics provides also a viable strategy for optimal control of complex network dynamics at minimal cost.

Abstract
Dynamics of coupled chaotic oscillators on a network are studied using coupled maps. Within a broad range of parameter values representing the coupling strength or the degree of elements, the system repeats formation and split of coherent clusters. The distribution of the cluster size follows a power law with the exponent α, which changes with the parameter values. The number of positive Lyapunov exponents and their spectra are scaled anomalously with the power of the system size with the exponent β, which also changes with the parameters. The scaling relation α∼2(β+1) is uncovered, which is universal independent of parameters and among random networks.

Abstract
The theoretical description of synchronization phenomena often relies on coupled units of continuous time noisy Markov chains with a small number of states in each unit. It is frequently assumed, either explicitly or implicitly, that coupled discrete-state noisy Markov units can be used to model mathematically more complex coupled noisy continuous phase oscillators. In this work we explore conditions that justify this assumption by coarse graining continuous phase units. In particular, we determine the minimum number of states necessary to justify this correspondence for Kuramoto-like oscillators.

Abstract
Although the set of permutation symmetries of a complex network could be very large, few of them give rise to stable synchronous patterns. Here we present a general framework and develop techniques for controlling synchronization patterns in complex network of coupled chaotic oscillators. Specifically, according to the network permutation symmetry, we design a small-size and weighted network, namely the control network, and use it to control the large-size complex network by means of pinning coupling. We argue mathematically that for any of the network symmetries, there always exists a critical pinning strength beyond which the unstable synchronous pattern associated to this symmetry can be stabilized. The feasibility of the control method is verified by numerical simulations of both artificial and real-world networks and demonstrated experimentally in systems of coupled chaotic circuits. Our studies show the controllability of synchronous patterns in complex networks of coupled chaotic oscillators.

Abstract
The synchronization behavior of coupled chaotic discontinuous maps over a ring network with dynamic random connections is reported in this paper. It is observed that random rewiring stabilizes one of the two strongly unstable fixed points of the local map. Depending on initial conditions, the network synchronizes to different unstable fixed points, which signifies the existence of synchronized multistability in the complex network. Moreover, the length of discontinuity of the local map has an important role in generating windows of different synchronized fixed points. Synchronized fixed point and synchronized periodic orbits are found in the network depending on coupling strength and different parameter values of the local map. We have identified the existence of period subtracting bifurcation with respect to coupling strength in the network. The range of coupling strength for the occurrence of synchronized multistable spatiotemporal fixed points is determined. This range strongly depends upon the dynamic rewiring probability and also on the local map.

Abstract
We consider an array of units each of which can be in one of three states. Unidirectional transitions between these states are governed by Markovian rate processes. The interactions between units occur through a dependence of the transition rates of a unit on the states of the units with which it interacts. This coupling is nonlocal, that is, it is neither an all-to-all interaction (referred to as global coupling), nor is it a nearest neighbor interaction (referred to as local coupling). The coupling is chosen so as to disfavor the crowding of interacting units in the same state. As a result, there is no global synchronization. Instead, the resultant spatiotemporal configuration is one of clusters that move at a constant speed and that can be interpreted as traveling waves. We develop a mean field theory to describe the cluster formation and analyze this model analytically. The predictions of the model are compared favorably with the results obtained by direct numerical simulations.

Abstract
The combined effects of the information transmission delay and the ratio of the electrical and chemical synapses on the synchronization transitions in the hybrid modular neuronal network are investigated in this paper. Numerical results show that the synchronization of neuron activities can be either promoted or destroyed as the information transmission delay increases, irrespective of the probability of electrical synapses in the hybrid-synaptic network. Interestingly, when the number of the electrical synapses exceeds a certain level, further increasing its proportion can obviously enhance the spatiotemporal synchronization transitions. Moreover, the coupling strength has a significant effect on the synchronization transition. The dominated type of the synapse always has a more profound effect on the emergency of the synchronous behaviors. Furthermore, the results of the modular neuronal network structures demonstrate that excessive partitioning of the modular network may result in the dramatic detriment of neuronal synchronization. Considering that information transmission delays are inevitable in intra- and inter-neuronal networks communication, the obtained results may have important implications for the exploration of the synchronization mechanism underlying several neural system diseases such as Parkinson's Disease.

Abstract
An array of identical maps with Ising symmetry, with both positive and negative couplings, is studied. We divide the maps into two groups, with positive intra-group couplings and negative inter-group couplings. This leads to antisynchronization between the two groups which have the same stability properties as the synchronized state. Introducing a certain degree of randomness in signs of these couplings destabilizes the anti-synchronized state. Further increasing the randomness in signs of these couplings leads to oscillator death. This is essentially a frustration induced phenomenon. We explain the observed results using the theory of random matrices with nonzero mean. We briefly discuss applications to coupled differential equations.

Abstract
We propose a one-dimensional lattice model, inspired by population dynamics interaction. The model combines a variable coupling range with the Allee effect. The system is capable of exhibiting pattern formation that is similar to what occurs in similar continuous models for population dynamics. However, the formation features are quite different; in this case the pattern emerges from a disorder state via intermittence. We analytically estimated the selected wavelength of the formed pattern and numerically studied fluctuations around the mean wavelength. We also comment on the relationship between intermittence and the edge of chaos as well as sensitivity to initial conditions. Next, we present an analytical prediction of the influence of the world size on the intermittent regime which is in good agreement with the numerical observations. Moreover, the last calculation provided us an alternative way to compute the pattern wavelength. Finally, we discuss the continuous limit of our lattice model.

Abstract
Spontaneous activity in biological neural networks shows patterns of dynamic synchronization. We propose that these patterns support the formation of a small-world structure-network connectivity optimal for distributed information processing. We present numerical simulations with connected Hindmarsh-Rose neurons in which, starting from random connection distributions, small-world networks evolve as a result of applying an adaptive rewiring rule. The rule connects pairs of neurons that tend fire in synchrony, and disconnects ones that fail to synchronize. Repeated application of the rule leads to small-world structures. This mechanism is robustly observed for bursting and irregular firing regimes.

Abstract
We study phase ordering dynamics of spatially periodic striped patterns on the small-world network that is derived from a two-dimensional regular lattice with distance-dependent random connections. It is demonstrated numerically that addition of spatial disorder in the form of shortcuts makes the growth of domains much slower or even frozen at late times.

Abstract
We propose an experimental setup based on a single oscillator for studying large networks formed by identical unidirectionally coupled systems. A chaotic wave form generated by the oscillator is stored in a computer to adjust the signal according to the desired network configuration to feed it again into the same oscillator. No previous theoretical knowledge about the oscillator dynamics is needed. To visualize network synchronization we introduce a network synchronization bifurcation diagram that should prove to be an effective tool for analysis, design, and optimization of complex networks.

Abstract
In this paper, we numerically investigate the development of generalized synchronization (GS) on typical complex networks, such as scale-free networks, small-world networks, random networks, and modular networks. By adopting the auxiliary-system approach to networks, we observe that GS generally takes place in oscillator networks with both heterogeneous and homogeneous degree distributions, regardless of whether the coupled chaotic oscillators are identical or nonidentical. We show that several factors, such as the network topology, the local dynamics, and the specific coupling strategies, can affect the development of GS on complex networks.

Abstract
We propose a new perspective on communication using chaos. A binary message is encoded into the temporally causal relations on a coupled maps ring of N chaotic nodes. From the analysis of temporal transfer entropy, the masked information can be recovered from transmitted signals at the receiver. The communication scheme has been demonstrated to be robust against external noise and some traditional attacks.

Abstract
We investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of a network of coupled nonlinear oscillators, modeled by sine-circle maps, with varying degrees of randomness in coupling connections. We show that the change in the basin of attraction of the spatiotemporal fixed point due to varying fraction of random links, p , is crucially related to the nature of the local dynamics. Even the qualitative dependence of the spatiotemporal regularity on p changes drastically as the angular frequency of the oscillators changes, ranging from a monotonic increase or monotonic decrease to nonmonotonic variation. Thus it is evident here that the influence of random coupling connections on spatiotemporal order is highly nonuniversal and depends very strongly on the nodal dynamics.

Abstract
We investigate the spatiotemporal properties of a lattice of chaotic maps whose coupling connections are rewired to random sites with probability p . Keeping p constant, we change the random links at different frequencies in order to discern the effect (if any) of the time dependence of the links. We observe two different regimes in this network: (i) when the network is rewired slowly, namely, when the random connections are quite static, the dynamics of the network is spatiotemporally chaotic and (ii) when these random links are switched around fast, namely, the network is rewired frequently, one obtains a spatiotemporal fixed point over a large range of coupling strengths. We provide evidence of a sharp transition from a globally attracting spatiotemporal fixed point to spatiotemporal chaos as the rewiring frequency is decreased. Thus, in addition to geometrical properties such as the fraction of random links in the network, dynamical information on the time dependence of these links is crucial in determining the spatiotemporal properties of complex dynamical networks.

Abstract
We investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of a lattice of coupled chaotic maps whose coupling connections are dynamically rewired to random sites with probability p ; namely, at any instance of time, with probability p a regular link is switched to a random one. In a range of weak coupling, where spatiotemporal chaos exists for regular lattices (i.e., for p=0 ), we find that p>0 yields synchronized periodic orbits. Further, we observe that this regularity occurs over a window of p values, beyond which the basin of attraction of the synchronized cycle shrinks to zero. Thus we have evidence of an optimal range of randomness in coupling connections, where spatiotemporal regularity is efficiently obtained. This is in contrast to the commonly observed monotonic increase of synchronization with increasing p , as seen, for instance, in the strong-coupling regime of the very same system.

Abstract
Based on the original definition of the synchronization stability, a general framework is presented for investigating the exponential stability of synchronization in asymmetrically coupled networks. By choosing an appropriate Lyapunov function, we prove that the mechanism of the exponential synchronization stability is the asymmetrical coupling matrix with diffusive condition. We deduce the second largest eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix to govern the exponential stability of synchronization in asymmetrically coupled networks. Moreover, we have given the threshold value which can guarantee that the states of the asymmetrically coupled network achieve the exponential stability of synchronization.

Abstract
A clustered network is characterized by a number of distinct sparsely linked subnetworks (clusters), each with dense internal connections. Such networks are relevant to biological, social, and certain technological networked systems. For a clustered network the occurrence of global synchronization, in which nodes from different clusters are synchronized, is of interest. We consider Kuramoto-type dynamics and obtain an analytic formula relating the critical coupling strength required for global synchronization to the probabilities of intracluster and intercluster connections, and provide numerical verification. Our work also provides direct support for a previous spectral-analysis-based result concerning the role of random intercluster links in enhancing the synchronizability of a clustered network.

Abstract
It has been shown that synchronizability of a network is determined by the local structure rather than the global properties. With the same global properties, networks may have very different synchronizability. In this paper, we numerically studied, through the spectral properties, the synchronizability of ensembles of networks with prescribed statistical properties. Given a degree sequence, it is found that the eigenvalues and eigenratios characterizing network synchronizability have well-defined distributions, and statistically, the networks with extremely poor synchronizability are rare. Moreover, we compared the synchronizability of three network ensembles that have the same nodes and average degree. Our work reveals that the synchronizability of a network can be significantly affected by the local pattern of connections, and the homogeneity of degree can greatly enhance network synchronizability for networks of a random nature.

Abstract
There has been mounting evidence that many types of biological or technological networks possess a clustered structure. As many system functions depend on synchronization, it is important to investigate the synchronizability of complex clustered networks. Here we focus on one fundamental question: Under what condition can the network synchronizability be optimized? In particular, since the two basic parameters characterizing a complex clustered network are the probabilities of intercluster and intracluster connections, we investigate, in the corresponding two-dimensional parameter plane, regions where the network can be best synchronized. Our study yields a quite surprising finding: a complex clustered network is most synchronizable when the two probabilities match each other approximately. Mismatch, for instance caused by an overwhelming increase in the number of intracluster links, can counterintuitively suppress or even destroy synchronization, even though such an increase tends to reduce the average network distance. This phenomenon provides possible principles for optimal synchronization on complex clustered networks. We provide extensive numerical evidence and an analytic theory to establish the generality of this phenomenon.

Abstract
We apply the auxiliary-system approach to study paths to globally generalized synchronization in scale-free networks of identical chaotic oscillators, including Hénon maps, logistic maps, and Lorentz oscillators. As the coupling strength epsilon between nodes of the network is increased, transitions from partially to globally generalized synchronization and intermittent behaviors near the synchronization thresholds, are found. The generalized synchronization starts from the hubs of the network and then spreads throughout the whole network with the increase of epsilon . Our result is useful for understanding the synchronization process in complex networks.

Abstract
Locally and globally exponential stability of synchronization in asymmetrically nonlinear coupled networks and linear coupled networks are investigated in this paper, respectively. Some new synchronization stability criteria based on eigenvalues are derived. In these criteria, both a term that is the second largest eigenvalue of a symmetrical matrix and a term that is the largest value of the sum of the column of the asymmetrical coupling matrix play a key role. Comparing with existing results, the advantage of our synchronization stability results is that they can be analytically applied to the asymmetrically coupled networks and can overcome the complexity of calculating eigenvalues of the coupling asymmetric matrix. Therefore, these conditions are very convenient to use. Moreover, a necessary condition of globally exponential synchronization stability criterion is also given by the elements of the coupling asymmetric matrix, which can conveniently be used in judging the synchronization stability condition without calculating the eigenvalues of the coupling matrix.

Abstract
We consider the Kuramoto model of globally coupled phase oscillators subject to Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and non-Gaussian colored noise and investigate the influence of noise on the order parameter of the synchronization process. We use numerical methods to study the dependence of the threshold as well as the maximum degree of synchronization on the correlation time and the strength of the noise, and find that the threshold of synchronization strongly depends on the nature of the noise. It is found to be lower for both the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and non-Gaussian processes compared to the case of white noise. A finite correlation time also favors the achievement of the full synchronization of the system, in contract to the white noise process, which does not allow that. Finally, we discuss possible applications of the stochastic Kuramoto model to oscillations taking place in biochemical systems.

Abstract
We study the spatiotemporal dynamics of a network of coupled chaotic maps modelling neuronal activity, under variation of coupling strength epsilon and degree of randomness in coupling p. We find that at high coupling strengths (epsilon>epsilonfixed) the unstable saddle point solution of the local chaotic maps gets stabilized. The range of coupling where this spatiotemporal fixed point gains stability is unchanged in the presence of randomness in the connections, namely epsilonfixed is invariant under changes in p. As coupling gets weaker (epsilon<epsilonfixed), the spatiotemporal fixed point loses stability, and one obtains chaos. In this regime, when the coupling connections are completely regular (p=0), the network becomes spatiotemporally chaotic. Interestingly however, in the presence of random links (p>0) one obtains spatial synchronization in the network. We find that this range of synchronized chaos increases exponentially with the fraction of random links in the network. Further, in the space of fixed coupling strengths, the synchronization transition occurs at a finite value of p, a scenario quite distinct from the many examples of synchronization transitions at p-->0. Further we show that the synchronization here is robust in the presence of parametric noise, namely in a network of nonidentical neuronal maps. Finally we check the generality of our observations in networks of neurons displaying both spiking and bursting dynamics.

Abstract
Real networks often consist of local units interacting with each other by means of heterogeneous connections. In many cases, furthermore, such networks feature degree mixing properties, i.e., the tendency of nodes with high degree (with low degree) to connect with connectivity peers (with highly connected nodes). Such degree-degree correlations may have an important influence in the spreading of information or infectious agents on a network. We explore the role played by these correlations for the synchronization of networks of coupled dynamical systems. Using a stochastic optimization technique, we find that the value of degree mixing providing optimal conditions for synchronization depends on the weighted coupling scheme. We also show that a minimization of the assortative coefficient may induce a strong destabilization of the synchronous state. We illustrate our findings for weighted networks with scale free and random topologies.

Abstract
The random matrix theory is used to bridge the network structures and the dynamical processes defined on them. We propose a possible dynamical mechanism for the enhancement effect of network structures on synchronization processes, based upon which a dynamic-based index of the synchronizability is introduced in the present paper.

Abstract
Recent research has revealed that complex networks with a smaller average distance and more homogeneous degree distribution are more synchronizable. We find, however, that synchronization in complex, clustered networks tends to obey a different set of rules. In particular, the synchronizability of such a network is determined by the interplay between intercluster and intracluster links. The network is most synchronizable when the numbers of the two types of links are approximately equal. In the presence of a mismatch, increasing the number of intracluster links, while making the network distance smaller, can counterintuitively suppress or even destroy the synchronization. We provide theory and numerical evidence to establish this phenomenon.

Abstract
We propose two types of evolving networks: evolutionary Apollonian networks (EANs) and general deterministic Apollonian networks (GDANs), established by simple iteration algorithms. We investigate the two networks by both simulation and theoretical prediction. Analytical results show that both networks follow power-law degree distributions, with distribution exponents continuously tuned from 2 to 3. The accurate expression of clustering coefficient is also given for both networks. Moreover, the investigation of the average path length of EAN and the diameter of GDAN reveals that these two types of networks possess small-world feature. In addition, we study the collective synchronization behavior on some limitations of the EAN.

Abstract
We use the empirical mode decomposition method to decompose experimental respiratory signals into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and consider one of these IMFs as a respiratory rhythm. We then use the Hilbert spectral analysis to calculate the instantaneous phase of the IMF. Heartbeat data are finally incorporated to construct the cardiorespiratory synchrogram, which is a visual tool for inspecting synchronization. We perform analysis on 20 data sets collected by the Harvard medical school from ten young (21-34 years old) and ten elderly (68-81 years old) rigorously screened healthy subjects. Our results support the existence of cardiorespiratory synchronization. We also investigate the origin of the cardiorespiratory synchronization by addressing the problem of correlations between regularities of respiratory and cardiac signals. Our analysis shows that regularity of respiratory signals plays a dominant role in the cardiorespiratory synchronization.

Abstract
We suggest a new line of research that we hope will appeal to the nonlinear dynamics community, especially the readers of this Focus Issue. Consider a network of identical oscillators. Suppose the synchronous state is locally stable but not globally stable; it competes with other attractors for the available phase space. How likely is the system to synchronize, starting from a random initial condition? And how does the probability of synchronization depend on the way the network is connected? On the one hand, such questions are inherently difficult because they require calculation of a global geometric quantity, the size of the "sync basin" (or, more formally, the measure of the basin of attraction for the synchronous state). On the other hand, these questions are wide open, important in many real-world settings, and approachable by numerical experiments on various combinations of dynamical systems and network topologies. To give a case study in this direction, we report results on the sync basin for a ring of n >> 1 identical phase oscillators with sinusoidal coupling. Each oscillator interacts equally with its k nearest neighbors on either side. For k/n greater than a critical value (approximately 0.34, obtained analytically), we show that the sync basin is the whole phase space, except for a set of measure zero. As k/n passes below this critical value, coexisting attractors are born in a well-defined sequence. These take the form of uniformly twisted waves, each characterized by an integer winding number q, the number of complete phase twists in one circuit around the ring. The maximum stable twist is proportional to n/k; the constant of proportionality is also obtained analytically. For large values of n/k, corresponding to large rings or short-range coupling, many different twisted states compete for their share of phase space. Our simulations reveal that their basin sizes obey a tantalizingly simple statistical law: the probability that the final state has q twists follows a Gaussian distribution with respect to q. Furthermore, as n/k increases, the standard deviation of this distribution grows linearly with square root of n/k. We have been unable to explain either of these last two results by anything beyond a hand-waving argument.

Abstract
We study the coupled-map lattice model with both local and global couplings. We find necessary conditions for observing synchronous chaos and investigate the transition to synchronization as a dynamic phase transition. We discover that this transition, if continuous, shows scaling and universal behavior with the dynamic exponent z = 2. We also define and illustrate an interesting quantity similar to persistence at critical point.
