This paper studies synchronization of complex dynamical networks where time-varying coupling delays and the node with time-varying delay are considered. The occurrence probability of each coupling time delay is considered. Synchronization conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. An example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.
