Summary:
Synchronization is essential for the correct functioning of many technological systems as in wireless communications, parallel/distributed computing, or electrical power distribution lines. One of the properties that those systems should have is scalability, i.e., the ability to be augmented without loosing the synchronization performance. In this communication, we describe a method to properly engineer the wiring of a network of dynamical units in order to achieve synchronization. We provide rules to guide the rewiring of the links of a given node in the network or to guide the pinning with a new only node added to the network. In particular, we will focus on sequential regulation processes in order to establish conditions for identifying the minimal number of connections needed for regulating synchrony, as well as a practical way to find the corresponding sequence of connections.
