Phase Locking Induces Scale-Free Topologies in Networks of Coupled Oscillators
Figure 4
Time evolution of the cumulative degree distribution for a particular realization of the network growth.
ωp = 0.5 and dp = 0.2 (left panel, non locked graph) and dp = 0.5 (right panel locked graph). In both cases the inset reports the corresponding time evolution of R(t) (see text for definition). The time instants at which the distributions are taken (indicated by arrows in the insets) are: t = 0 (*); t = 200 (+); t = 500 (◊); t = 800 (○); t = 1000 (□). Notice that, in the locked case, converges to an asymptotic distribution
which features a power-law shape (best fit sketched with red dashed line).
