Description
Summary:This paper investigates the synchronization of general complex dynamical networks (CDNs) with both internal delay and transmission delay. Event-triggered mechanism is applied for the feedback controllers, in which the triggered function is formed as a nonincreasing function. Both continuous feedback and sampled-data feedback methods are studied. According to Lyapunov stability theorem and generalized Halanay’s inequality, quasi-synchronization criteria are derived at first. The synchronization error is bounded with some parameters of the triggered function. Then, the completed synchronization can be guaranteed as a special case. Finally, coupled neural networks as numerical simulation examples are given to verify the theoretical results.
