Random adaptive control for cluster synchronization of complex networks with distinct communities

Abstract

SummaryIn this paper, we investigate the cluster synchronization for complex networks with time‐varying delayed couplings, stochastic disturbance, and non‐identical nodes in different clusters. Based on randomly occurring controllers, some Bernoulli stochastic variables are introduced to describe the controllers, then, a fraction of nodes in clusters, which have direct connections to the other clusters, is controlled, and the states of the whole dynamical networks can be globally forced to the objective cluster states. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the realization of the mean square cluster synchronization pattern for all initial values by means of Lyapunov stability theory, It differential formula, and LMI approach. Besides, by designing the randomly occurring adaptive update law, some suitable control gains are obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the main result. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Parameter variation‐based impulsive adaptive synchronization on Lur'e dynamical networks with hybrid time‐varying delays

“…Among these techniques, Lipchitz condition is relatively strict but a widely applied one, for example in listed papers. 12,18,26,27…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10] Synchronization implies that the constituent systems in complex networks could present in the trend of convergence and finally reach to same states. According to prevailing control schemes and primary control targets, multiple kinds of synchronization patterns are investigated such as phase synchronization, 11 cluster synchronization, 12 impulsive synchronization 13 and adaptive synchronization. 14,15 Time delay, as one of the most quintessential and inevitable uncertainties, frequently occurs in practical fields like engineering, traffic and communication of information.…”

Finite-Time and Fixed-Time Consensus of Nonlinear Stochastic Multi-Agent Systems With ROUs and RONs via Impulsive Control

“…Up till now, tremendous amount of methods have been used to solve the consensus problem of multi-agent systems, for instance, adaptive control, robust control, feedback control and so on [19]- [21]. Compared with these continuous-time control methods, impulsive control techniques is a definite advantage to control of the complex network, especially, the systems cannot be controlled by continuous-time control [22], [23].…”

Lag synchronization of uncertain complex dynamical networks with derivative coupling

“…When the synchronization of complex networks cannot be attained, many control schemes have been designed effectively for achieving network synchronization. In fact, after the pioneering work of Pecora and Carroll was published, many researches have been put great efforts to investigate network synchronization phenomenon [4,6,11,12,16,17,19,21,22,29]. In these studies, lag synchronization behavior is one of the most interesting type.…”
