Structural robustness of the network relay synchronization for non identical layers. 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 the inter-layer coupling strength λ = 0.23 for mixed ER (ESE, empty circles) and mixed SF (SES, empty squares) layer configurations. The relay lines are disconnected following a descending order of the outer node degrees and for comparison the corresponding values for identical layers -see Fig. 6(b) are plotted in solid symbols. The red solid (ESE) and empty (SES) triangles show the behavior when the relay lines are disconnected following the degree ranking of the relay layer.
