Synchronization in networks with multiple interaction layers 2016 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The structure of many real-world systems is best captured by networks consisting of several interaction layers. Understanding how a multilayered structure of connections affects the synchronization properties of dynamical systems evolving on top of it is a highly relevant endeavor in mathematics and physics and has potential applications in several socially relevant topics, such as power grid engineering and neural dynamics. We propose a general framework to assess the stability of the synchronized state in networks with multiple interaction layers, deriving a necessary condition that generalizes the master stability function approach. We validate our method by applying it to a network of Rössler oscillators with a double layer of interactions and show that highly rich phenomenology emerges from this. This includes cases where the stability of synchronization can be induced even if both layers would have individually induced unstable synchrony, an effect genuinely arising from the true multilayer structure of the interactions among the units in the network. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/317532/EU/Foundational Research on MULTIlevel comPLEX networks and systems/MULTIPLEX info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2011-25167 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2012-38266-C02-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 37.205 2016 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 2 / 63 = 0.032 2016 Q1 T1 13.744 2016 History and Philosophy of Science 2016 Q1 Multidisciplinary 2016 Q1 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Gómez Gardeñes, Jesús Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5204-1937 Bonamassa, Ivan Boccaletti, Stefano 2003 395 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
