The role of loops in synchronization of networks — •Hildegard Meyer-Ortmanns, Filippo Radicchi, and Soon-Hyung Yook — SES, International University Bremen, P.O.Box 750561, D-28725 Bremen

We derive conditions for synchronization in various ensembles of oscillators as a function of the network topology. In particular we study Kuramoto oscillators on linear chains, rings and Caley-trees. We also consider Roessler oscillators on scale-free (Barabasi-Albert) networks. As it turns out, the presence of loops facilitates synchronization in both type of ensembles if otherwise the parameters are unchanged.
