Summary
The structural features of a system significantly affect the attributes and functions of the system. The effect of this phenomenon can be widely observed, from areas such as the WWW to the brains of animals. In the present paper, a method for controlling the behavior of a system by manipulating the structure is examined using a coupled nonlinear oscillator model. We first describe a property of the eigenfrequencies of coupled oscillators and show that convergent transition is possible by connecting oscillators with significantly different eigenfrequencies. Moreover, using the eigenvalues of a graph matrix, we reveal that a combination of distant oscillators can shift the converged state independent of the eigenfrequencies.
