We apply the theory of incremental input-to-state stability to the problem of synchronization in a complex dynamical network of identical nodes, using chaotic nodes as a typical platform. The proposed technique can achieve chaos synchronization using only partial state/output information in the...

Complex networks have attracted increasing attention from various fields of science and engineering today. Due to the finite speeds of transmission and spreading as well as traffic congestions, a signal or influence travelling through a complex network often is associated with time delays, and...

Previous studies concerning pinning control of complex-network synchronization have very often demonstrated that in an unweighted symmetrical scale-free network, controlling the high-degree nodes is more efficient than controlling randomly chosen ones; due to the heterogeneity of the node-degree...

In this paper, the commonly concerned issue of synchronization regions of complex dynamical networks is investigated, for the case when the synchronous state is an equilibrium point. Some simple sufficient conditions for a network to have or have no unbounded synchronization regions of the form...
