Abstract
The emergence of explosive synchronization transitions in networks of phase oscillators recently has become one of the most interesting topics. It is widely believed that the large frequency mismatch of a pair of oscillators (also known as disassortativity in frequency) is a direct cause of an explosive synchronization. It is found that, besides the disassortativity in frequency, the disassortativity in node degree also shows up in connection with the first-order synchronization transition. In this paper, we simulate the Kuramoto model on top of a family of networks with different degree-degree and frequency-frequency correlation patterns. Results show that only when the degrees and natural frequencies of the network's nodes are both disassortative can an explosive synchronization occur.
