Abstract: A generalized complex dynamical networks model with neutral-type coupling delay is proposed, which is an extension for the systems without time delay and with the retarded delay. By some transformation, the synchronization problem of the complex networks is transferred equally into the asymptotical stability problem of a group of uncorrelated neutral delay functional differential equations. Furthermore, the less conservative sufficient conditions for both delay-independent and delay-dependent asymptotical synchronization stability criteria are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities based on the free weighting matrix strategy. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
