(A–C) Analytical predictions (thick lines) compared with simulation results (symbols) for a power-law coupling pattern with minimum degree and maximum degree . The value of from Eq. 15 is shown as a function of for different parameters , , and . The parameters are (A) , , and ; (B) , , and ; and (C) , , and . (D–F) We show as a function of , , and , with the other parameters as in A–C. Simulation results are averaged over 100 independent realizations with networks of size .
