Dynamical leaps due to microscopic changes in multiplex networks

Abstract
Recent developments of the multiplex paradigm included efforts to understand the role played by the presence of several layers on the dynamics of processes running on these networks. The possible existence of new phenomena associated to the richer topology has been discussed and examples of these differences have been systematically searched. Here, we show that the interconnectivity of the layers may have an important impact on the speed of the dynamics run in the network and that microscopic changes such as the addition of one single inter-layer link can notably affect the arrival at a global stationary state. As a practical verification, these results obtained with spectral techniques are confirmed with a Kuramoto dynamics for which the synchronization consistently delays after the addition of single inter-layer links.
