Fault diagnosis of time-delay complex dynamical networks using output signals

This paper proposes a novel approach for fault diagnosis of a time-delay complex dynamical network.Unlike the other methods,assuming that the dynamics of the network can be described by a linear stochastic model,or using the state variables of nodes in the network to design an adaptive observer,it only uses the output variable of the nodes to design an observer and an adaptive law of topology matrix in the observer of a complex network,leading to simple design of the observer and easy realisation of topology monitoring for the complex networks in real engineering.The proposed scheme can monitor any changes of the topology structure of a time-delay complex network.The effectiveness of this method is successfully demonstrated by virtue of a complex networks with Lorenz model.

This paper presents an adaptive lag synchronization based method for simultaneous identification of topology and parameters of uncertain general complex dynamical networks with and without time delays. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem and LaSalle??s invariance principle, an adaptive controller is designed to realize lag synchronization between drive and response systems, meanwhile, identification criteria of network topology and system parameters are obtained. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Synchronization-based topology identification of weighted general complex dynamical networks with time-varying coupling delay

Many existing papers investigated the geometric features, control and synchronization of complex dynamical networks provided with certain topology. However, the exact topology of a network is sometimes unknown or uncertain. Based on LaSalle’s invariance principle, we propose an adaptive feedback technique to identify the exact topology of a weighted general complex dynamical network model with time-varying coupling delay. By receiving the network nodes evolution, the topology of such a kind of network with identical or different nodes, or even with varying topology can be monitored. In comparison with previous methods, time delay is taken into account in this simple, analytical and systematic synchronization-based technique. Particularly, the weight configuration matrix is not necessarily symmetric or irreducible, and the inner-coupling matrix need not be symmetric. Illustrative simulations are provided to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Adaptive dynamical networks via neighborhood information: synchronization and pinning control

In this paper, we introduce a model of an adaptive dynamical network by integrating the complex network model and adaptive technique. In this model, the adaptive updating laws for each vertex in the network depend only on the state information of its neighborhood, besides itself and external controllers. This suggests that an adaptive technique be added to a complex network without breaking its intrinsic existing network topology. The core of adaptive dynamical networks is to design suitable adaptive updating laws to attain certain aims. Here, we propose two series of adaptive laws to synchronize and pin a complex network, respectively. Based on the Lyapunov function method, we can prove that under several mild conditions, with the adaptive technique, a connected network topology is sufficient to synchronize or stabilize any chaotic dynamics of the uncoupled system. This implies that these adaptive updating laws actually enhance synchronizability and stabilizability, respectively. We find out that even though these adaptive methods can succeed for all networks with connectivity, the underlying network topology can affect the convergent rate and the terminal average coupling and pinning strength. In addition, this influence can be measured by the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the corresponding Laplacian. Moreover, we provide a detailed study of the influence of the prior parameters in this adaptive laws and present several numerical examples to verify our theoretical results and further discussion.     

Topology Identification of General Dynamical Network with Distributed Time Delays

Genera/dynamical networks with distributed time delays are studied. The topology of the networks are viewed as unknown parameters, which need to be identified. Some auxiliary systems （also called the network estimators） are designed to achieve this goal. Both linear feedback control and adaptive strategy are applied in designing these network estimators. Based on linear matrix inequalities and the Lyapunov function method, the sufficient condition for the achievement of topology identification is obtained. This method can also better monitor the switching topology of dynamical networks. Illustrative examples are provided to show the effectiveness of this method.     

Robust adaptive synchronization of uncertain and delayed dynamical complex networks with faulty network

<正>This paper presents a new robust adaptive synchronization method for a class of uncertain dynamical complex networks with network failures and coupling time-varying delays.Adaptive schemes are proposed to adjust controller parameters for the faulty network compensations,as well as to estimate the upper and lower bounds of delayed state errors and perturbations to compensate the effects of delay and perturbation on-line without assuming symmetry or irreducibility of networks.It is shown that,through Lyapunov stability theory,distributed adaptive controllers constructed by the adaptive schemes are successful in ensuring the achievement of asymptotic synchronization of networks in the present of faulty and delayed networks,and perturbation inputs.A Chua's circuit network example is finally given to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Adaptive cluster synchronization in complex dynamical networks

Cluster synchronization is investigated in different complex dynamical networks. In this Letter, a novel adaptive strategy is proposed to make a complex dynamical network achieve cluster synchronization, where the adaptive strategy of one edge is adjusted only according to its local information. A sufficient condition about the global stability arbitrarily grouped of cluster synchronization is derived. Several numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the adaptive strategy.     

Topology identification of the complex networks with non-delayed and delayed coupling

In practical situation, there exists many uncertain information in complex networks, such as the topological structures. So the topology identification is an important issue in the research of the complex networks. Based on LaSalle's invariance principle, in this Letter, an adaptive controlling method is proposed to identify the topology of a weighted general complex network model with non-delayed and delayed coupling. Finally, simulation results show that the method is effective.     

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.
