Abstract

In this paper we study synchronization in linearly coupled time-delayed systems. We first consider coupled nonidentical Ikeda systems with a square wave coupling rate. Using the theory of the time-delayed equation, we derive less restrictive synchronization conditions than those resulting from the Krasovskii-Lyapunov theory [Yang Kuang, (Academic Press, New York, 1993)]. Then we consider a wide class of nonlinear nonidentical time-delayed systems. We also propose less restrictive synchronization conditions in an approximative sense, even if the coefficients in the linear time-delayed equation on the synchronization error are time dependent. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations fully verify our main results.
