Function projective synchronization in drive-response dynamical networks with non-identical nodes

This paper investigates the problem of function projective synchronization (FPS) in drive-response dynamical networks (DRDNs) with non-identical nodes. Based on the adaptive open-plus-closed-loop (AOPCL) method, a general method of function projective synchronization is derived, which is robust to limited accuracy of data and effects of noise. Corresponding numerical simulations on the Lorenz system are performed to verify and illustrate the analytical results.
