Exponential Synchronization of Impulsive Complex Networks with Nonidentical Coupling Delays and Switching Topology

Abstract

The exponential synchronization problem is considered for impulsive complex networks with nonidentical coupling delays and switching topologies. The complex networks under investigation include two cases: one is that all sub networks are self-synchronizing, the other is that there are some sub networks are nonsychronizing. By means of the average dwell time technology of the switched systems, the delay-dependent sufficient conditions and switching signals are proposed for exponential synchronization of entire networks with respect to above two cases. Finally, two simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the developed results.
