Abstract
This paper studies the adaptive synchronization of two complex networks with non-delayed and delayed couplings, in which the coupling configuration matrices are not necessarily symmetric or irreducible. Considering the case of identical and nonidentical network topological structures, we obtain several criteria for synchronization of two complex networks based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed criteria.
