Abstract :
This brief proposes a new complex dynamical network model, in which nodes are connected by measured outputs experiencing the random sensor delay. This model is totally different from some existing network models. Then, synchronization in the proposed network model is analyzed by the stochastic stability theory. A sufficient synchronization condition is given to ensure that the proposed network model is exponentially mean-square stable. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation fully verify the main results.
