Synchronization inArrays ofDelay-Coupled Neural Networks viaAdaptive Control

Inthispaper,we firstly proposed a general complex dynamical network consisting ofN nonlinearly coupled identical neural networks withcoupling delays. Many studied coupled systems arespecial cases ofthis model. Synchronization insuchdynamical network isstudied. ByusingtheLyapunov stability theorem, somesimple controllers withupdated feedback strength areintroduced intomakethenetwork synchronized. The update gaina canbeproperly chosen tomakesomeimportant nodessynchronized quicker orslower thanothernodes. One example isgiven toverify thevalidity andeffectiveness ofthe proposed control scheme.
