Abstract
In the previous chapter, complex dynamical networks have been introduced. One particularly interesting dynamical state on a network is synchronization because synchrony phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and engineering, as discussed in detail in Chap. 1. The stability analysis of synchrony in a complex network is a challenging problem due to the high dimensionality of the equations.
