Deviations from global coupling in adaptive oscillator networks: a mean-field theory for the variance of coupling weights

Richard Gast, Shotaro Takasu, Juergen Kurths +1

A wide range of physical and biological systems are adaptive networks, in which the dynamics of the nodes and of the edges connecting them co-evolve. Mean-field reductions of such…
