Description
Many natural and artificial two-states signaling devices are connected forming networks. The information-processing potential of these systems is usually related to the response to weak external signals. Here, using a network of overdamped bistable elements, we study the effect of a heterogeneous complex topology on the signal response. The analysis of the problem in random scale-free networks, reveals that heterogeneity plays a crucial role in amplifying external signals. We have contrasted numerical simulations with analytical calculations in simplified topologies.
