We here propose an effective network whose topological properties reflect the interplay between the topology and dynamics of the original network. On that basis, we are able to introduce the effective centrality, a measure that quantifies the role and importance of each network’s node in the synchronization process. In particular, in the context of explosive synchronization, we use such a measure to assess the propensity of a graph to sustain an irreversible transition to synchronization. We furthermore discuss a strategy to induce the explosive behavior in a generic network, by acting only upon a fraction of its nodes.engjournal article2470-0053https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.92.062820open access004.032.2653Networks and genealogical treesSynchronizationCoupled oscillatorsNeural networksNonlinear SciencesAdaptation and Self-Organizing SystemsCiencias22 Física
