In a network of coupled oscillators (diffusive coupling) while it is intuitive to expect that the magnitude of coupling increases with increase in concentration of coupling factor (provided the diffusion rates and other factors are held constant)....

1. Would this increase be linear, sigmoid or does the coupling strength follow an inverted U shaped curve with an increase initially and eventual drop?

2. Does higher concentration of coupling factor lead to unstable network, or in other words will the network attain local stability but is easily susceptible to mutual desynchronization by an external agent? 

3. Also, is this trend different for mean field coupling?
