We investigate noisy Kuramoto oscillators on networks that are undirected and complex. Our problem allows to study the effects and the interplay of networks with a given degree distribution, diversity of oscillators and noise acting on the natural frequencies.
We derive the critical coupling strength for the onset of synchronization by approximating the complex network by a weighted fully connected network.
We find that the critical coupling strength is a product of two factors. The first one depends solely on the network topology, while the second factor is a function of the noise intensity and the diversity of the oscillators. Our result is applied to a dense small-world network model in order to provide numerical verification.
We obtain a satisfying agreement between simulations and theory for the critical coupling strength, regardless of whether we consider the dependencies on the topology or the dependencies on the diversity.
Only for a smaller number of edges in the network, the critical coupling strength is slightly overestimated by our approximation technique, but the functional dependencies can still be reproduced qualitatively.
