Enhance synchronizability by structural perturbations
  In this paper, we investigate the collective synchronization of system of coupled oscillators on Barab\'{a}si-Albert scale-free network. We propose an approach of structural perturbations aiming at those nodes with maximal betweenness. This method can markedly enhance the network synchronizability, and is easy to be realized. The simulation results show that the eigenratio will sharply decrease to its half when only 0.6% of those hub nodes are under 3-division processes when network size N=2000. In addition, the present study also provides a theoretical evidence that the maximal betweenness plays a main role in network synchronization.
