Abstract
A general complex delayed dynamical network model with asymmetric coupling matrix is considered in this paper. For reducing the conservativeness of synchronization criteria, several novel synchronization stability conditions are presented by using delay decomposition methods. Numerical examples which are widely used to study delay-dependent synchronization stability are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
