Comment on: “Topology identification and adaptive synchronization of uncertain complex networks with adaptive double scaling functions” [Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simul 2011;16:3337–43]

Abstract In this comment letter we point out that the main result of the recent paper [Xu Y, Zhou W, Fang J, Sun W. Topology identification and adaptive synchronization of uncertain complex networks with adaptive double scaling functions. Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simul 2011;16(18):3337–43] has certain errors. The mistakes are corrected and a correct version is presented in this letter. We further indicate that a sufficient condition has been neglected in a series of articles discussing the same topic of network topology identification; hence we hope this letter can help clarify some unclear concepts about this topic.
