Abstract

Current studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between the network assortativity and robustness and that the assortativity also plays an important role in explosive synchronization. In this paper, taking the network robustness as a global property, we investigate its significance as well as the influence of its interaction with the assortativity on explosive synchronization. Our numerical results demonstrate that explosive synchronization is suppressed in extreme situations of both the robustness and assortativity. In addition, through appropriate adjustments of them, a maximum hysteresis area between the forward and backward transitions can be reached. Furthermore, our results might also provide reference for those who are interested in effects of network structure on synchronization, though this problem is still challenging as we show in the discussion.
