Impulsive synchronization of a general nonlinear coupled complex network

This paper investigates impulsive synchronization of a general nonlinear coupled complex network. Based on the comparison theory of impulsive differential system, some novel synchronization criteria are derived, and impulsive controllers are designed simultaneously. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization criteria.

► We investigates synchronization of a nonlinear coupled complex network.
► Utilizing the impulsive control strategy, some novel synchronization criteria are derived.
► The impulsive controller is effective, robust and low cost, and easy to implement in practice.
