“…Multiplex network is a subclass of multilayer networks, where one-to-one interactions between all the nodes in different layers are maintained [15], [16]. In recent time, collective dynamics in multi-layered networks has been extensively explored [15], [1], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22] including investigations on chimera states [23], [24] and explosive synchronization [25], [26]. In such multilayer dynamical networks [27], [28], [29], synchrony is one of the most important desired states for all practical purposes since it is essential for the efficient performance of the networks.…”
