Exponential Output Synchronization of Complex Dynamical Networks with Time-Varying Delay via Pinning Control

Abstract

This paper investigates the output synchronization of complex dynamical networks. A complex dynamical network model with time-varying delay and output coupling is introduced. Pinning control method is adopted to ensure output synchronization. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov function, a general exponential output synchronization criterion is derived. Finally, numerical simulation example is demonstrated for validity and feasibility of the obtained result illustration.
