Abstract
Impulsive control and exponential synchronization analysis of a class of complex networks with time-varying coupling delay is investigated in this paper. Our aim is to enhance the synchronizability of the complex networks by applying impulsive control. By introducing a comparison system and estimating the corresponding Cauchy matrix sufficient conditions on global exponential synchronization are derived. An impulsive controller is explicitly designed not only to achieve synchronized dynamics for the complex networks, but simultaneously to ensure the states of synchronous error converging with a given decay rate. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the theoretical results and proposed controller design procedure.
