The sum of positive LEs with respect to the number of nodes for networks with star topology that do not satisfy cases 1 and 2, respectively. For each network we considered the building block with N₀=5 and ε=0.19. In (a) the inter-coupling of the network Ω⁽¹⁾ is γ(1)=0.2 and in (b) γ(1)=0.6 and k=[1,2,…,6]. In both graphs, during the evolutionary process the inter-coupling strength was kept constant
