We calculate analytically the critical connectivity K-c of random-threshold networks (RTNs) for homogeneous and inhomogeneous thresholds, and confirm the results by numerical simulations. We find a superlinear increase of K-c with the (average) absolute threshold |h|, which approaches K-c(|h|) similar to h(2)/(21n|h|) for large |h|, and show that this asymptotic scaling is universal for RTNs with Poissonian distributed connectivity and threshold distributions with a variance that grows slower than h(2). Interestingly, we find that inhomogeneous distribution of thresholds leads to increased propagation of perturbations for sparsely connected networks, while for densely connected networks damage is reduced; the crossover point yields a characteristic connectivity K-d, that has no counterpart in Boolean networks with transition functions not restricted to threshold-dependent switching. Last, local correlations between node thresholds and in-degree are introduced. Here, numerical simulations show that even weak (anti) correlations can lead to a transition from ordered to chaotic dynamics, and vice versa.
