Exponential Synchronization of Two Nonlinearly Coupled Complex Networks with Time-Varying Delayed Dynamical Nodes

Abstract EN

This paper investigates the exponential synchronization between two nonlinearly coupled complex networks with time-varying delay dynamical nodes.

Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, some criteria for the exponential synchronization are derived with adaptive control method.

Moreover, the presented results here can also be applied to complex dynamical networks with single time delay case.

Finally, numerical analysis and simulations for two nonlinearly coupled networks which are composed of the time-delayed Lorenz chaotic systems are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed complex network synchronization scheme.
