title: Design of easily synchronizable oscillator networks using the Monte Carlo optimization method.
abstract: Starting with an initial random network of oscillators with a heterogeneous frequency distribution, its autonomous synchronization ability can be largely improved by appropriately rewiring the links between the elements. Ensembles of synchronization-optimized networks with different connectivities are generated and their statistical properties are studied.
