ABSTRACT

This paper studies the global synchronization for undirect and direct coupled networks with delay by employing Lyapunov functional method and Kronecker product technique. A novel pinning scheme is proposed and some sufficient conditions are given to ensure the global synchronization of coupled networks. Finally, an example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed pinning scheme.
