Structural robustness of the network relay synchronization for identical layers. (a) Synchronization error between the outer layers E−1,1 vs the decreasing number of connected relay lines for identical ER (blue empty symbols) and SF (black solid symbols) layers. Relay lines are disconnected following a descending (circle symbols) or ascending (square symbols) node degree ranking of the outer layers (seed legend in (b)). Parameter values are N = 500, 〈k〉 = 8, λ = 0.23 and σ0 = σ1 = 0.8. (b) Number of multiplexed relay lines needed to support a relay network state as a function of the intra-layer coupling strength σ0 = σ1 while keeping constant λ = 0.23. The different curves are explained in the legend. All the results are averaged over 10 different network realizations.
