Synchronization of complex dynamical networks with time delays

In the present paper, two kinds of dynamical complex networks are considered. The first is that elements of every node have different time delays but all nodes in such networks have the same time-delay vector. The second is that different nodes have different time-delay vectors, and the elements of each node also have different time delays. Corresponding synchronization theorems are established. Numerical examples show the efficiency of the derived theorems.
