Abstract: | This article is concerned with the problem of pinning outer synchronization between two complex delayed dynamical networks via adaptive intermittent control. At first, a general model of hybrid‐coupled dynamical network with time‐varying internal delay and time‐varying coupling delay is given. Then, an aperiodically adaptive intermittent pinning‐control strategy is introduced to drive two such delayed dynamical networks to achieve outer synchronization. Some sufficient conditions to guarantee global outer‐synchronization are derived by constructing a novel piecewise Lyapunov function and utilizing stability analytical method. Moreover, a simple pinned‐node selection scheme determining what kinds of nodes should be pinned first is provided. It is noted that the adaptive pinning control type is aperiodically intermittent, where both control period and control width are non‐fixed. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the validity of the theoretical results. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 593–605, 2016 |
