| Abstract: | This paper deals with a synchronization problem of a class of neutral‐type complex dynamic networks with interval time‐varying coupling delays under a pair of nonlinear constraints. Some delay‐dependent synchronization criteria are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) based on a modified Lyapunov‐Krasovskii (LK) functional approach. By a convexity analysis of the matrix function, a free‐weighting matrix method is employed for the purpose of reducing the conservatism of the existing results. Two illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. |
