Abstract: We investigate the persistence of synchronization in networks of diffusively coupled oscillators when the coupling functions are nonidentical. Under mild conditions, we uncover the influence of the network interaction structure on the mismatches of the coupling function. We show that Erd"os-R'enyi random graphs support large perturbations in the coupling function. In contrast scale-free graphs do not allow large perturbations in the coupling function, that is, as the network size n goes to infinity it forces the coupling functions to be identical.

Review text

The paper investigates a diffusively coupled systems of oscillators NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \dot x_i = f(x_i) + \alpha \sum_{j=1}^n A_{ij} H_{ij} (t,x_i-x_j), \quad j=1,\dots,n, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\alpha\) is the coupling strength and \((A_{ij})\) is the adjacency matrix. In this work, the effects of the coupling functions \(H_{ij}(t,x)=H(x)+P_{ij}(t,x)\) with \(H(0)=0\) are considered.NEWLINENEWLINEThe main result of this paper provides conditions for the persistence of synchronized solutions for different coupling matrices \(A\). In particular, it is shown that Erdős-Rényi random graphs support large perturbations in the coupling function, and scale-free graphs do not allow large perturbations in the coupling function to be synchronized.
