“…Obviously, (, A (k) ), k = 1, 2, 3 are not strongly connected, but (, (D i ) 6×6 ) is strongly connected. That is to say, we do not need strong connectedness of each subnetwork (, A (k) ) (k = 1, 2, 3) to ensure the synchronization of drive-response networks (17) and (18). Figure 3 shows the identification of coupling configuration matrices A (k) , k = 1, 2, 3.…”
