Finite-time synchronization of master-slave neural networks with time-delays and discontinuous activations

This paper deals with the finite-time synchronization issue of time-varying delayed neural networks (DNNs) with discontinuous activations. Based on master-slave concept, several sufficient conditions are given to guarantee the finite-time synchronization of discontinuous DNNs. In order to control the synchronization error to converge zero in a finite time, we design three classes of novel switching state-feedback controllers which involve time-delays and discontinuous factors. The analysis in this paper employs the extended differential inclusion theory, the famous finite-time stability theorem, inequality techniques and generalized Lyapunov approach. Moreover, the upper bounds of the settling time of synchronization are estimated. Finally, the validity of proposed design method and theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.     

Finite-time stochastic synchronization of complex networks

In this paper, we study the finite-time stochastic synchronization problem for complex networks with stochastic noise perturbations. By using finite-time stability theorem, inequality techniques, the properties of Weiner process and adding suitable controllers, sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure finite-time stochastic synchronization for the complex networks. The effects of control parameters on synchronization speed and time are also analyzed. The results of this paper are applicable to both directed and undirected weighted networks while do not need to know any information about eigenvalues of coupling matrix. Since finite-time synchronization means the optimality in convergence time and has better robustness and disturbance rejection properties, the results of this paper are important. A numerical example shows the effectiveness of our new results.

In this paper, the issue of finite-time lag synchronization of coupled reaction–diffusion systems with time-varying delay (CRDSTD) is considered. A periodically intermittent controller is designed such that drive system and corresponding response system can achieve finite-time lag synchronization. By using graph theory and Lyapunov method, two sufficient criteria are presented to guarantee the finite-time lag synchronization of CRDSTD. Moreover, the time of achieving lag synchronization of CRDSTD is estimated. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Finite‐time synchronization of memristive neural networks with time‐varying delays via two control methods

In this paper, on the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory and finite‐time stability lemma, the finite‐time synchronization problem for memristive neural networks with time‐varying delays is studied by two control methods. First, the discontinuous state‐feedback control rule containing integral part for square sum of the synchronization error and the discontinuous adaptive control rule are designed for realizing synchronization of drive‐response memristive neural networks in finite time, respectively. Then, by using some important inequalities and defining suitable Lyapunov functions, some algebraic sufficient criteria guaranteeing finite‐time synchronization are deduced for drive‐response memristive neural networks in finite time. Furthermore, we give the estimation of the upper bounds of the settling time of finite‐time synchronization. Lastly, the effectiveness of the obtained sufficient criteria guaranteeing finite‐time synchronization is validated by simulation.     

复杂动态网络的有限时间同步

复杂网络无处不在,同步是自然界中广泛存在的一类非常重要的非线性现象.过去10年,人们对复杂网络的同步开展了系统而深入的研究,包括恒等同步、广义同步、簇同步以及部分同步等.上述大部分结果中对同步速度的刻画往往是渐进的,只有当时间趋于无穷的时候,网络才能实现同步,而对于网络能够在多长时间内可以实现同步却知之甚少.作者以几类典型的非线性耦合的复杂动态网络为例,深入探讨了复杂动态网络的有限时间同步的规律.具体而言,基于上述几类典型的复杂动态网络,证明了在某些合适的条件下,网络能够在有限时间内实现精确同步.此外,用一个典型的数值仿真实例验证了上述有限时间同步的准则.有限时间同步有效地避免了网络只有在无穷时刻才能实现同步的问题,对网络同步的实际工程应用具有基本的现实意义.     

Quantized adaptive pinning control for fixed/preassigned-time cluster synchronization of multi-weighted complex networks with stochastic disturbances

The article studies preassigned-time (PAT) and fixed-time (FXT) cluster synchronization of multi-weighted complex networks (CNs) with stochastic disturbances through designing quantized adaptive pinning control scheme. Firstly, the controller can achieve lower control costs and save communication channels. By designing a novel and appropriate Lyapunov function, combining the characteristics of Wiener process and utilizing a method of comparison system, FXT synchronization criteria of CNs are proposed. The FXT criteria can be more widely applied in directed and undirected multi-weighted CNs. Besides, the PAT cluster synchronization is also investigated by utilizing a novel control scheme that the gains of controller are finite, where the synchronization time can be preassigned based on realistic situation. The effectiveness of theoretical results is illustrated via simulations.

Some criteria for the global finite-time synchronization of two Lorenz–Stenflo systems coupled by a new controller

This paper investigates the global finite-time synchronization of two chaotic Lorenz–Stenflo systems coupled by a new controller called the generalized variable substitution controller. First of all, the generalized variable substitution controller is designed to establish the master–slave finite-time synchronization scheme for the Lorenz–Stenflo systems. And then, based on the finite-time stability theory, a sufficient criterion on the finite-time synchronization of this scheme is rigorously verified in the form of matrix and the corresponding estimation for the synchronization time is analytically given. Applying this criterion, some sufficient finite-time synchronization criteria under various generalized variable substitution controllers are further derived in the algebraic form. Finally, some numerical examples are introduced to compare the results proposed in this paper with those proposed in the existing literature, verifying the effectiveness of the criteria obtained.

Fast synchronization of directionally coupled chaotic systems

This paper studies the fast synchronization of directionally coupled chaotic systems under a chained interaction topology. Firstly, by applying finite-time stability theory, it is shown that all chaotic systems can achieve synchronization in finite time as long as the coupling strength is strong enough. Secondly, it is proved that the settling times are determined by the interaction strength, system parameters and initial conditions of the chaotic systems. Furthermore, it is found that the settling times are mainly dependent on the bounded value and dimension of the coupled chaotic systems when the individual chaotic sub-system is bounded. Finally, illustrative examples and numerical simulations are given to show the correctness of theoretical results.

Finite-time structure identification and synchronization of drive-response systems with uncertain parameter

This paper proposes an approach of finite-time synchronization to identify the topological structure and unknown parameters simultaneously for under general complex dynamical networks. Based on the finite-time stability theory, an effective control input and a feedback control with an updated law are designed to realize finite-time synchronization between two complex networks. The unknown network topological structure and system parameters of uncertain general complex dynamical networks are identified simultaneously. Since finite-time topology identification means the suboptimum in identified time, the results of this paper are important. Several useful criteria for finite-time synchronization are given. Finally, two examples simulations for supporting the theoretical results are also provided.     

Improved results on fixed-time stability of switched nonlinear time-varying systems

This paper considers the problem of fixed-time stability (FTS) for switched nonlinear time-varying (NTV) systems. Firstly, three sufficient conditions are proposed to verify the FTS of NTV systems by using the improved Lyapunov function, which has a tighter upper bound of time derivative. Then, two FTS conditions are given for the switched NTV system by extending the obtained results, moreover, a switching strategy is also provided by using the minimum dwell time method. Finally, the obtained results are extended to study the FTS of impulsive NTV systems. Comparing with the existing results, the obtained conditions have two improvements: (1) provides a more accurate estimate for the upper bound of settling time of NTV systems, and (2) allows the Lyapunov function to increase at the switching instant of switched NTV (or impulsive NTV) systems. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
