In this talk, we will first review the classical eigen-spectral approach to studying optimal network synchronization problems, and then introduce an advanced graph-theoretical approach leading to a new type of totally homogeneous networks. Finally, we will suggest an algrabaic topology approach to measuring and quantifying the optimal network synchronizability.
