Abstract

Complex networks are wide spread in the real world, arising in fields as disparate as sociology, physics and biology. The information spreading through a complex network is often associated with time delays due to the finite speeds of signal transmission over a distance. Hence, complex networks with coupling delays have gained increasing attention in various fields of science and engineering today. In this paper, based on the theory of asymptotic stability of linear time-delay systems, synchronization stability in complex dynamical networks with coupling delays is investigated, and we derive novel criteria of synchronization state for both delay-independent and delay-dependent stabilities. As illustrative examples, we use the networks with coupling delays and a given coupling scheme to test the theoretical results. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
