In this paper,the authors investigate the synchronization of an array of linearly coupled identical dynamical systems with a delayed coupling.Here the coupling matrix can be asymmetric and reducible.Some criteria ensuring delay-independent and delay- dependent global synchronization are derived respectively.It is shown that if the coupling delay is less than a positive threshold,then the coupled network will be synchronized.On the other hand,with the increase of coupling delay,the synchronization stability of the network will be restrained,even eventually de-synchronized.
