Abstract: An impulsive synchronization controller is presented for complex networks with coupling delays using impulsive control for time-delayed systems. The impulsive controller, which is capable of quickly synchronizing complex networks, is addressed with a passive method. Numerical simulation is carried out in which the complex network having 10 nodes is used as an example. The results show that the presented synchronization controller can synchronize complex networks with coupling delays asymptotically.
