Abstract The master stability equations for a complex dynamical network with general topology are obtained. Compared to prior work, we remove almost all the restrictions on the graph of the network. The coupling configuration matrix is not necessarily diagonalizable, the coupling coefficients are not necessarily nonnegative, and the graph of the network can be directed. These new master stability equations as for those in the previous studies are still very effective in analyzing the stability of complex dynamical networks in terms of synchronization to a manifold. We present some new observations on stability. A new concept “heavily connected”, which can be regarded as the generalization of both “connected” for an undirected graph and “strong connected” for a directed graph, is proposed. The proofs of the two main theorems are very short but can substitute many of those in the literature.
