Producing Complex Networks Using Coupled Oscillatory Circuits with Evolutionary Connections

In this study, we propose a method of generating complex networks by exploiting synchronization between coupled oscillatory circuits. To each node of a 2D fully connected network a van der Pol oscillator is assigned. We then study the topological evolution of the network in dependence on environmental conditions. These conditions are modeled by considering the distance between the oscillators and some small frequency errors that are added. By carrying out computer simulations, we confirm that different types of complex networks are obtained depending on different environmental conditions.
