Cluster synchronization in the adaptive complex dynamical networks via a novel approach

This Letter investigates cluster synchronization in the adaptive complex dynamical networks with nonidentical nodes by a local control method and a novel adaptive strategy for the coupling strengths of the networks. In this approach, the coupling strength of each node adjusts adaptively only based on the state information of its neighborhood. By means of the proposed scheme, the sufficient conditions for achieving cluster synchronization are derived analytically by utilizing Lyapunov stability theory. It is demonstrated that the synchronization performance is sensitively affected by the control gain, the inner-coupling matrix and the network topological structure. The numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Cluster synchronization of community network with distributed time delays via impulsive control

Cluster synchronization is an important dynamical behavior in community networks and deserves further investigations.A community network with distributed time delays is investigated in this paper.For achieving cluster synchronization,an impulsive control scheme is introduced to design proper controllers and an adaptive strategy is adopted to make the impulsive controllers unified for different networks.Through taking advantage of the linear matrix inequality technique and constructing Lyapunov functions,some synchronization criteria with respect to the impulsive gains,instants,and system parameters without adaptive strategy are obtained and generalized to the adaptive case.Finally,numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Adaptive Synchronization of Fractional Order Complex-Variable Dynamical Networks via Pinning Control

In this paper, the synchronization of fractional order complex-variable dynamical networks is studied using an adaptive pinning control strategy based on close center degree. Some effective criteria for global synchronization of fractional order complex-variable dynamical networks are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory. From the theoretical analysis, one concludes that under appropriate conditions, the complex-variable dynamical networks can realize the global synchronization by using the proper adaptive pinning control method. Meanwhile, we succeed in solving the problem about how much coupling strength should be applied to ensure the synchronization of the fractional order complex networks. Therefore, compared with the existing results, the synchronization method in this paper is more general and convenient. This result extends the synchronization condition of the real-variable dynamical networks to the complex-valued field, which makes our research more practical. Finally, two simulation examples show that the derived theoretical results are valid and the proposed adaptive pinning method is effective.     

Robust adaptive synchronization of general dynamical networks with multiple delays and uncertainties

In this article, a general complex dynamical network which contains multiple delays and uncertainties is introduced, which contains time-varying coupling delays, time-varying node delay, and uncertainties of both the inner- and outer-coupling matrices. A robust adaptive synchronization scheme for these general complex networks with multiple delays and uncertainties is established and raised by employing the robust adaptive control principle and the Lyapunov stability theory. We choose some suitable adaptive synchronization controllers to ensure the robust synchronization of this dynamical network. The numerical simulations of the time-delay Lorenz chaotic system as local dynamical node are provided to observe and verify the viability and productivity of the theoretical research in this paper. Compared to the achievement of previous research, the research in this paper seems quite comprehensive and universal.     

Adaptive global synchronization of a general complex dynamical network with non-delayed and delayed coupling

This Letter investigates the global synchronization of a general complex dynamical network with non-delayed and delayed coupling. Based on Lasalle's invariance principle, adaptive global synchronization criteria is obtained. Analytical result shows that under the designed adaptive controllers, a general complex dynamical network with non-delayed and delayed coupling can globally asymptotically synchronize to a given trajectory. What is more, the node dynamic need not satisfy the very strong and conservative uniformly Lipschitz condition and the coupling matrix is not assumed to be symmetric or irreducible. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Stochastic synchronization for time-varying complex dynamical networks

This paper studies the stochastic synchronization problem for time-varying complex dynamical networks. This model is totally different from some existing network models. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, inequality techniques, and the properties of the Weiner process, some controllers and adaptive laws are designed to ensure achieving stochastic synchronization of a complex dynamical network model. A sufficient synchronization condition is given to ensure that the proposed network model is mean-square stable. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation fully verify the main results.     

Cluster synchronization in fractional-order complex dynamical networks

Cluster synchronization of complex dynamical networks with fractional-order dynamical nodes is discussed in the Letter. By using the stability theory of fractional-order differential system and linear pinning control, a sufficient condition for the stability of the synchronization behavior in complex networks with fractional order dynamics is derived. Only the nodes in one community which have direct connections to the nodes in other communities are needed to be controlled, resulting in reduced control cost. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the obtained result. Numerical simulations illustrate that cluster synchronization performance for fractional-order complex dynamical networks is influenced by inner-coupling matrix, control gain, coupling strength and topological structures of the networks.

Fixed-Time Synchronization Control of Delayed Dynamical Complex Networks

Fixed-time synchronization problem for delayed dynamical complex networks is explored in this paper. Compared with some correspondingly existed results, a few new results are obtained to guarantee fixed-time synchronization of delayed dynamical networks model. Moreover, by designing adaptive controller and discontinuous feedback controller, fixed-time synchronization can be realized through regulating the main control parameter. Additionally, a new theorem for fixed-time synchronization is used to reduce the conservatism of the existing work in terms of conditions and the estimate of synchronization time. In particular, we obtain some fixed-time synchronization criteria for a type of coupled delayed neural networks. Finally, the analysis and comparison of the proposed controllers are given to demonstrate the validness of the derived results from one numerical example.

Adaptive synchronization of weighted complex dynamical networks through pinning

This paper considers the problem of controlling weighted complex dynamical networks by applying adaptive control to a fraction of network nodes. We investigate the local and global synchronization of the controlled dynamical network through the construction of a master stability function and a Lyapunov function. Analytical results show that a certain number of nodes can be controlled by using adaptive pinning to ensure the synchronization of the entire network. We present numerical simulations to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. In comparison with feedback pinning, the proposed pinning control scheme is robust when tested by noise, different weighting and coupling structures, and time delays.     

Investigation of a Unified Chaotic System and Its Synchronization by Simulations*

We investigate a unified chaotic system and its synchronization including feedback synchronization and adaptive synchronization by numerical simulations. We propose a new dynamical quantity denoted by K, which connects adaptive synchronization and feedback synchronization, to analyze synchronization schemes. We find that K can estimate the smallest coupling strength for a unified chaotic system whether it is complete feedback or one-sided feedback. Based on the previous work, we also give a new dynamical method to compute the leading Lyapunov exponent.     

Robust impulsive synchronization of complex delayed dynamical networks

This Letter investigates robust impulsive synchronization of complex delayed dynamical networks with nonsymmetrical coupling from the view of dynamics and control. Based on impulsive control theory on delayed dynamical systems, some simple yet generic criteria for robust impulsive synchronization are established. It is shown that these criteria can provide a novel and effective control approach to synchronize an arbitrary given delayed dynamical network to a desired synchronization state. Comparing with existing results, the advantage of the control scheme is that synchronization state can be selected as a weighted average of all the states in the network for the purpose of practical control strategy. Finally, numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methodology.     

Generalized projective synchronization of two coupled complex networks of different sizes

We investigate a new generalized projective synchronization between two complex dynamical networks of different sizes. To the best of our knowledge, most of the current studies on projective synchronization have dealt with coupled networks of the same size. By generalized projective synchronization, we mean that the states of the nodes in each network can realize complete synchronization, and the states of a pair of nodes from both networks can achieve projective synchronization. Using the stability theory of the dynamical system, several sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the existence of the generalized projective synchronization under feedback control and adaptive control are obtained. As an example, we use Chua's circuits to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the obtained result.
