Abstract: This study investigates remote synchronization in scale-free networks of coupled nonlinear oscillators inspired by synchronization observed in the brain's cortical regions and power grid. We employ the Master Stability Function (MSF) approach to analyze network stability across various oscillator models. Synchronization results are obtained for a star network using linearization techniques and extended to arbitrary net-works with benchmark oscillators, verifying consistent behavior. Stable synchronous solutions emerge as the Floquet multiplier decreases and the MSF becomes negative. Additionally, we demonstrate remote synchronization in a star network, where peripheral oscillators communicate exclusively through a central hub, drawing parallels to neuronal synchronization in the brain. Experimental validation is achieved through an electronic circuit testbed, supported by nonlinear ODE modeling and LTspice simulation. Future work will extend the investigation to arbitrary network topologies, further elucidating synchronization dynam-ics in complex systems.
