Abstract
This paper is concerned with the delay-dependent synchronization criterion for neutral-type stochastic delayed complex networks. Firstly, expectations of stochastic crossterms containing the Itô integral are investigated. In fact, for stochastic delay systems, if we want to obtain the delay-dependent condition with less conservatism, how to deal with expectations of stochastic cross terms properly is of vital importance, and many existing results did not deal with expectations of these stochastic cross terms correctly. Then, based on this, this paper establishes a novel delay-dependent synchronization criterion for neutral-type stochastic delayed complex networks. In the derivation process, the mathematical development avoids bounding stochastic cross terms. Thus, this method shows less conservatism. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
