Better synchronizability predicted by crossed double cycle

In this Brief Report, we propose a network model named crossed double cycles, which are completely symmetrical and can be considered as the extensions of nearest-neighboring lattices. The synchronizability, measured by eigenratio R, can be sharply enhanced by adjusting the only parameter, the crossed length m. The eigenratio R is shown very sensitive to the average distance L, and the smaller average distance will lead to better synchronizability. Furthermore, we find that, in a wide interval, the eigenratio R approximately obeys a power-law form as R similar to L-1.5.
