Exponential synchronization in complex-variable network with distributed delays via intermittent control

Abstract

In this paper, exponential synchronization in complex-variable network with distributed delays is investigated. By utilizing intermittent control scheme, some effective controllers are designed. Based on the Lyapunov function method and mathematical analysis technique, some synchronization criteria with respect to the system parameters, control gain and control rate are presented. From the criteria, for any given dynamical network, the needed values of control gains and rate can be easily estimated. Finally, two numerical simulations are performed to verify the derived theoretical results.
