“…In real world applications, time delays are inevitable in most physical systems (Li, Dong, Han, Hou, & Li, 2017;Lu & Chen, 2004;Park, Kwon, Park, Lee, & Cha, 2012;Yang, Dong, Wang, Ren, & Alsaadi, 2016), therefore it is important to be considered in the investigation of synchronization of CDNs under the exponential H ∞ approach. The existence of time delays which might occur as a result of, limited information channels and large-scale interconnected complex networks could lead to undesired oscillation, instability and poor performance of the CDNs (Lakshmanan et al, 2014;Liang, Wu, & Chen, 2016;Zeng et al, 2015).…”
