Abstract

The propensity for synchronization of complex networks with directed and weighted links is considered. We show that a weighting procedure based upon the global structure of network pathways enhances complete synchronization of identical dynamical units in scale-free networks. Furthermore, we numerically show that very similar conditions hold also for phase synchronization of nonidentical chaotic oscillators.
