This paper investigates the impulsive control-based leader-follower synchronization problem of a delayed complex dynamical network. This network is assumed to have a leader-follower configuration with the presence of a power leader. The proposed methodology based on contraction theory derives the efficient synchronization condition for the complex delayed dynamical network with a power leader such that all follower systems (delayed or non-delayed) exponentially synchronize their states to the power leader through local interactions. The research demonstrates that synchronization can be achieved effectively by applying control impulses to only a small fraction of nodes within the network. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm is demonstrated through simulation.
