title: Synchronized state of coupled dynamics on time-varying networks.
abstract: We consider synchronization properties of coupled dynamics on time-varying networks and the corresponding time-average network. We find that if the different Laplacians corresponding to the time-varying networks commute with each other then the stability of the synchronized state for both the time-varying and the time-average topologies are approximately the same. On the other hand for noncommuting Laplacians the stability of the synchronized state for the time-varying topology is in general better than the time-average topology.
