We consider a synchronization problem for genetic oscillator networks. The genetic oscillators are modeled as nonlinear systems of the Lur’e type. Simple and verifiable synchronization conditions are presented for genetic oscillator networks by using the theory of absolute stability and the matrix theory. A network composed of coupled Goodwin models is used as an example of numerical simulation to verify the efficiency of the theoretical method.
