The analysis is based on the full dynamics towards synchronization of a system of coupled oscillators. In the synchronization process, modular structures corresponding to well-defined communities of nodes emerge in different time scales, ordered in a hierarchical way. The analysis also provides a useful connection between synchronization dynamics, complex networks topology, and spectral graph analysis.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2006Física estadísticaXarxes neurals (Informàtica)Statistical physicsNeural networks (Computer science)info:eu-repo/semantics/article542398info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
