Abstract

The synchronization problem for complex networks with time-varying delays of unknown bound is investigated in this paper. From the impulsive control point of view, a novel delayed impulsive differential inequality is proposed, where the bounds of time-varying delays in continuous dynamic and discrete dynamic are both unknown. Based on the inequality, a class of delayed impulsive controllers is designed to achieve the synchronization of complex networks, where the restriction between impulses interval and time-varying delays is dropped. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
