Improving synchronous ability between complex networks

We investigate the synchronization ability between complex networks and propose a near optimal connection strategy based on one connection. Numerical simulations on scale-free, small-world and random network are presented to prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Furthermore, we find that the synchronization ability of the networks can be improved more largely by enhancing inter-network coupling strength than by enhancing intra-network coupling strength. We find that there is an upper limit for the synchronization ability of the complex networks, and we analyze the corresponding reason.
