Abstract

This paper investigates the output synchronization of a class of impulsive complex dynamical networks with time-varying delay. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, some new and useful conditions are obtained to guarantee the local and global exponential output synchronization of the impulsive complex networks. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
