Abstract

We study a certain class of network diffusion equation with large power-nonlinearity. We first report several interesting behaviors like synchronization and mode-switching, and next analytically clarify their mechanism. Throughout the investigation we demonstrate that the q-exponential function plays an important role and that the nonlinear behaviors are critically concerned with network topology.
