title: Synchronization threshold of a coupled time-delay system.
abstract: The synchronization threshold in the general form of a one-way coupled time-delayed system is discussed. Based on the Krasovskii-Lyapunov theory, the deduction process and the application range of the synchronization threshold are given. In addition, a misuse of the synchronization threshold is presented and is illustrated by an example.
