While explosive percolation emerges from localized structural perturbations that delay the formation of a connected component, explosive synchronization is usually studied by fine-tuning of global parameters. Here, we introduce the concept of synchronization bombs as large networks of heterogeneous oscillators that abruptly transit from incoherence to phase-locking (or vice-versa) by adding (or removing) one or a few links. We build these bombs by optimizing global synchrony with decentralized information in a competitive percolation process driven by a local rule, and show their occurrence in systems of Kuramoto –periodic– and Rössler –chaotic– oscillators and in a model of cardiac pacemaker cells, providing an analytical characterization in the Kuramoto case. Our results propose a self-organized approach to design and control abrupt transitions in adaptive biological systems and electronic circuits, and place explosive synchronization and percolation under the same mechanistic framework. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-17R-FENOL info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/CEX2019-000910-S info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-113582GB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/FIS2017-87519-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2017-87519-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2017-90782-REDT info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PGC2018-094754-B-C21 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ-IBERCAJA/224220 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.5 2022 PHYSICS, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 17 / 85 = 0.2 2022 Q1 T1 1.844 2022 Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 8.6 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Faci-Lázaro, Sergio Universidad de Zaragoza Skardal, Per Sebastian Boghiu, Emanuel-Cristian Gómez-Gardeñes, Jesús Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5204-1937 Arenas, Alex 2003 395 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
