Some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. Finally, it is found that the synchronizabilities of the two sorts of networks studied in this article are the same, in addition, the two single-center network structures with the two structures under the same conditions and find that the synchronizability of the cases in which the two hub nodes is weaker than that of the single-center network.
