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....

The synchrony preferential mechanism in complex networks is investigated in a novel synchronization-preferential growing network model proposed. Compared with the BA scale-free model [A.L. Barabási, H. Jeong, R. Albert, Physica A 272 (1999) 173.] and the synchronization-optimal network model...
