The restriction on the out-coupling matrix of a dynamical network to be symmetric or irreducible is removed. Complex eigenvalues for the general out-coupling matrix are considered and complex vectors are dealt with accordingly. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the matrix decomposition technique and linear matrix inequalities, a sufficient condition of synchronization stability is developed by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function. In addition, the synchronization problem of a numerical example is simulated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed conclusion. The results show that the condition is much less conservative than the existing ones in literature. rv:
