Network analysis for competitively evolved and optimized networks: (a) in-degree distribution, (b) dependence of average native frequency on degree, (c) dependence of average native frequency of in-neighbors on native frequency, (d) dependence of variance between native frequencies of in-neighbors on native frequency, (e) dependence of reciprocity on native frequency, (f) dependence of in-degree of in-neighbors on native frequency (hinting to a strongly disassortative arrangement: a = −0.73 ± 0.06, a = −0.19 ± 0.05 (opt), a = −0.16 ± 0.04 (not sync’ed), a = −0.04 ± 0.03 (random). Illustrations of linked ω − ω correlation matrices for competitively evolved synchronized (g), non-synchronized (h) and conventionally optimized (i) networks. Configurations evolved for κ = 0.23 and N = 100.
