All node inputs are normalized by the node connectivity and some important properties of the network structure are determined in this case: (i) optimized networks present a strong anti-correlation between natural frequencies of adjacent nodes; (ii) this anti-correlation should be as high as possible since the average path length between nodes is maintained as small as in random networks; and (iii) high anti-correlation is obtained without any relation between nodes natural frequencies and the degree of connectivity. We also propose a network construction model with which it is shown that high anti-correlation and small average paths may be achieved by randomly rewiring a fraction of the links of a totally anti-correlated network, and that these networks present optimal synchronization properties. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
