Abstract
In this paper, inspired by the idea that many real networks are composed by sorts of communities, we investigate the synchronization property of oscillators on such community networks. We identify the communities by two ways, one is by the structure of individual community and the other by the intrinsic frequencies probability density () of Kuramoto oscillators on different communities. For the two sorts of community networks, when the community structure is strong, only the oscillators on the same community synchronize. With the weakening of the community strength, an interesting phenomenon appears: although the global synchronization is not achieved, oscillators on the same sort of communities will synchronize independently. Global synchronization will appear with the further weakening of community structure.
