Bifurcation control of small‐world networks with delays VIA PID controller

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of bifurcation control for a small‐world network model with time delay is studied. We first put forward a Proportional‐Integral‐Derivative (PID) feedback scheme to control the Hopf bifurcation of the network. The time delay is selected as the bifurcation parameter. The conditions of the stability and Hopf bifurcation are given for the controlled network. By using the center manifold theorem and the normal form theory, the direction and stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are confirmed. The feasible region of the parameters of the controller is determined. It is found that the bifurcation dynamics of the small‐world network are optimized by adjusting the parameters of the PID controller. Finally, a numerical example verifies the effectiveness of the designed PID controller, and the relationships between the onset of the Hopf bifurcation and the control parameters are obtained.

“…Thus, it can effectively control the spread of computer viruses or prevent the occurrence of network dangerous events. The research on complex networks is very extensive, including stability and bifurcation of complex networks, which can provide theoretical guidance for our life and production [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
