Abstract
This paper is concerned with the H ∞ synchronization problem of directed complex dynamical networks. For the system under study, mixed time-delays and stochastic factors are taken into consideration. By stochastic analysis techniques, we establish sufficient conditions under which the network is synchronized to the prescribed system in the H ∞ sense. Moreover, the effect of exogenous disturbance on synchronization performance is reduced to a given H ∞ norm. Finally, numerical simulations are given to verify the usefulness and effectiveness of our results.
