摘要

In this paper, generalized synchronization (GS) between two coupled complex networks is theoretically and numerically studied, where the node vectors in different networks are not the same, and the numbers of nodes of both networks are not necessarily equal. First, a sufficient criterion for GS, one kind of outer synchronizations, of two coupled networks is established based on the auxiliary system method and the Lyapunov stability theory. Numerical examples are also included which coincide with the theoretical analysis.
