The optimal synchronizability of complex networks with saturated coupling strength

摘要

For networks with fixed network topology, when the total coupling strength between nodes is limited and the coupling strength between nodes is saturated, the global optimization algorithms including genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm are used to adjust the coupling strength between nodes to improve the synchronizability of the network, respectively. Simulation results show that in WS small-world network, when the edge betweenness centrality of the edge is large, the coupling strength of the edge after optimization is greater. Furthermore, compared with GA, PSO has better performance.
