Synchronization-Desynchronization Transitions in Complex Networks: An Interplay of Distributed Time Delay and Inhibitory Nodes — •Carolin Wille^1,2, Judith Lehnert¹, and Eckehard Schöll¹ — ¹Institut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Berlin, Hardenbergstr. 36, 10623 Berlin, Germany — ²Institut für Theoretische Physik, Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin, Germany

We investigate the combined effects of distributed delay and the balance between excitatory and inhibitory nodes on the stability of synchronous oscillations in a network of coupled Stuart--Landau oscillators. To this end a network model is proposed for which the stability can be investigated analytically. It is found that beyond a critical inhibition ratio synchronization tends to be unstable. However, increasing distributional widths can counteract this trend leading to multiple resynchronization transitions at relatively high inhibition ratios. All studies are performed on two distribution types, a uniform distribution and a Gamma distribution.[1]
