Event-triggered sampled-data synchronization of complex networks with time-varying coupling delays

This paper investigates the event-triggered sampled-data synchronization problem of complex networks with time-varying coupling delays. The sampled-data controller is designed with event-triggered mechanisms. Some results in terms of a linear matrix inequality are obtained to guarantee the asymptotical synchronization of complex networks with time-varying coupling delays. Lastly, we test the effectiveness of the proposed method via some numerical examples.
