Synchronization of impulsive hybrid dynamical networks

This paper focuses on the synchronization problem of hybrid switching-impulsive dynamical networks with nonlinear coupling. By using the contraction theory, several unified criteria are obtained for network synchronization with nonlinear coupling based on the conception of the average impulsive dwell-time. It is no additional difficulty by using the partial contraction theory. The numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
