“…Therefore, the understanding of synchronization for complex networks is still insufficient. On the one hand, there are some restrictions in coupling matrices such as symmetric or irreducible [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. On the other hand, it is also assumed that the derivative of the time-varying coupling delay is less than one [14,17,23,24,40,43], or only considering the constant time-delay [2,5,18,23,25,30], which are the second and third key problems discussed here.…”
