We numerically investigate how to enhance synchronizability of coupled identical oscillators in complex networks with research focus on the roles of the high level of clustering for a given heterogeneity in the degree distribution. By using the edge-exchange method with the fixed degree...

We propose that the ubiquitous scale free nature of many real world networks may emerge from a steady state process where nodes are created and merged randomly. The merging may be viewed as an optimization of efficiency by minimizing redundancy. Copyright EDP Sciences/Società Italiana di...
