Abstract-- A kind of complex dynamical networks with timevarying coupling delays is proposed. By some transformation, the synchronization problem of the complex networks is transfe...
We investigate issues related to the probe complexity of quorum systems and their implementation in a dynamic environment. Our contribution is twofold. The first regards the algo...
