Average consensus of multi-agent systems with communication time delays and noisy links

In this paper,we consider the average-consensus problem with communication time delays and noisy links.We analyze two different cases of coupling topologies:fixed and switching topologies.By utilizing the stability theory of the stochastic differential equations,we analytically show that the average consensus could be achieved almost surely with the perturbation of noise and the communication time delays even if the time delay is time-varying.The theoretical results show that multi-agent systems can tolerate relatively large time delays if the noise is weak,and they can tolerate relatively strong noise if the time delays are low.The simulation results show that systems with strong noise intensities yield slow convergence.     

具有带头鼓掌者的掌声同步

研究了具有带头鼓掌者的掌声同步问题,在掌声传播的时滞对观众有无明显影响的两种情形下给出了掌声同步的充分条件.理论结果不仅说明了人们日常生活中观察到的现象:在上座率高的剧场内更容易听到有节奏的掌声,而且也得到了一个与人们直觉不同的结论:即使在很大的剧场内一位带头鼓掌者就足以带领所有观众以相同的节奏鼓掌.仿真示例验证了理论结果的正确性. 关键词： 同步 时滞 稳定性

Finite-Time Generalized Outer Synchronization Between Two Different Complex Networks

This paper investigates the finite-time generalized outer synchronization between two complex dynamical networks with different dynamical behaviors. The two networks can be undirected or directed, and they may also contain isolated nodes and clusters. By using suitable controllers, sufficient conditions for finite-time generalized outer synchronization are derived based on the finite-time stability theory. Finally, numerical examples are examined to illustrate the effectiveness of the analytical results. The effect of control parameters on the synchronization time is also numerically demonstrated.     

Synchronization between two different chaotic systems with noise perturbation

This paper investigates the chaotic synchronization between the noise-perturbed Lorenz system and one of the noise-perturbed Chen and Lu¨ systems.Based on the active control method and the Lyapunov theory in stochastic differential equations,sufficient conditions for the stability of the error dynamics are derived.Numerical simulations are also shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of these theoretic results.     

Fixed-Time Outer Synchronization of Complex Networks with Noise Coupling

In this paper,the fixed-time outer synchronization of complex networks with noise coupling is investigated.Based on the theory of fixed-time stability and matrix inequalities,sufficient conditions for fixed-time outer synchronization are established and the estimation of the upper bound of the setting time is obtained.The result shows that the setting time can be adjusted to a desired value regardless of the initial states.Numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.The effects of control parameters and the density of controlled nodes on the converging time are studied.
