We investigate how the synchronization of the network is influenced by some of its topological features such as variations of the power law degree distribution exponent \u03b3 and the degree correlation coefficient r. Using an appropriate construction algorithm based on clustering the network vertices in p classes according to their degrees, we construct networks with an assigned power law distribution but changing degree correlation properties. We find that the network synchronizability improves when the network becomes disassortative, i.e. when nodes with low degree are more likely to be connected to nodes with higher degree. We consider the case of both weighed and unweighed networks. The analytical results reported in the paper are then confirmed by a set of numerical observations obtained on weighed and unweighed networks of nonlinear R\u00f6ssler oscillators. Using a nonlinear optimization strategy we also show that negative degree correlation is an emerging property of networks when synchronizability is to be optimized. This suggests that negative degree correlation observed experimentally in a number of physical and biological networks might be motivated by their need to synchronize better. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s021812740701849x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,5]],"date-time":"2007-09-05T10:23:49Z","timestamp":1188987829000},"page":"2419-2434","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["SYNCHRONIZABILITY AND SYNCHRONIZATION DYNAMICS OF WEIGHED AND UNWEIGHED SCALE FREE NETWORKS WITH DEGREE MIXING"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"FRANCESCO","family":"SORRENTINO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Systems and Computer Science, University of Naples Federico II, Napoli, 80125, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MARIO","family":"DI BERNARDO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Systems and Computer Science, University of Naples Federico II, Napoli, 80125, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"FRANCO","family":"GAROFALO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Systems and Computer Science, University of Naples Federico II, Napoli, 80125, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02579166"},{"key":"rf2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.200327197"},{"key":"rf4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1126\/science.286.5439.509","volume":"286","author":"Barabasi A.","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"rf5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.89.054101"},{"key":"rf6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1140\/epjb\/e2004-00111-4"},{"key":"rf7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physrep.2005.10.009"},{"key":"rf8","first-page":"0419021.1","volume":"64","author":"Callaway D.","journal-title":"Phy.
