Robust exponential synchronization for neutral complex networks with discrete and distributed time-varying delays: A descriptor model transformation method

In this paper, the robust exponential synchronization problem for a class of neutral complex networks with discrete and distributed time‐varying delays is investigated. Some delay‐dependent synchronization criteria are derived by using the descriptor model transformation method; the stability condition of error dynamical networks based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is obtained via linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. Finally, numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.
