This paper investigates the synchronisation of nonlinear coupled complex dynamical networks with different nonlinear nodes and different orders by using decentralised dynamical compensation controllers. We propose a dynamical network mathematical model with similar nonlinear nodes, whose dimensions are different. For this kind of network model, the decentralised dynamical compensation controllers are designed for the state synchronisation of the coupled nodes. In addition, the synchronisation manifold is defined as an invariant manifold, which is regarded as the generalised case of dynamical networks with the same nodes’ dynamics. Furthermore, some stability criteria for the synchronisation are derived by means of rigorous theoretical analysis. Finally, numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
