Considering the effects of transmission delay, a memory sampled-data controller is designed. A modified two-sided looped functional is constructed that takes into account the entire sampling period, which includes both current state information and delayed state information. This functional only needs to be positive definite at the sampling instants. Sufficient criteria and the controller design method are provided to ensure the exponential synchronization of CDNs with input saturation under the influence of transmission delay, as well as the estimation of the basin of attraction. Additionally, an optimization algorithm for enlarging the region of attraction is proposed. Finally, a numerical example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the conclusion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e26090785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,16]],"date-time":"2024-09-16T11:36:37Z","timestamp":1726486597000},"page":"785","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Sampled-Data Exponential Synchronization of Complex Dynamical Networks with Saturating Actuators"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Runan","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenshun","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Qingdao University of Technology, Qingdao 266520, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"268","DOI":"10.1038\/35065725","article-title":"Exploring complex networks","volume":"410","author":"Strogatz","year":"2001","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"032811","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevE.89.032811","article-title":"Topological implications of negative curvature for biological and social networks","volume":"89","author":"Albert","year":"2014","journal-title":"Phys.
