Synchronization between Two Discrete-Time Networks with Mutual Couplings

We investigate synchronization between two discrete-time networks with mutual couplings, including inner synchronization inside each network and outer synchronization between two networks. We then obtain a synchronized criterion for the inner synchronization inside each network by the method of lin...
