Cluster synchronization is an important dynamical behavior in community networks and deserves further investigations.A community network with distributed time delays is investigated in this paper.For achieving cluster synchronization,an impulsive control scheme is introduced to design proper controllers and an adaptive strategy is adopted to make the impulsive controllers unified for different networks.Through taking advantage of the linear matrix inequality technique and constructing Lyapunov functions,some synchronization criteria with respect to the impulsive gains,instants,and system parameters without adaptive strategy are obtained and generalized to the adaptive case.Finally,numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Pinning impulsive synchronization of stochastic delayed coupled networks

In this paper,the pinning synchronization problem of stochastic delayed complex network (SDCN) is investigated by using a novel hybrid pinning controller. The proposed hybrid pinning controller is composed of adaptive controller and impulsive controller,where the two controllers are both added to a fraction of nodes in the network. Using the Lyapunov stability theory and the novel hybrid pinning controller,some sufficient conditions are derived for the exponential synchronization of such dynamical networks in mean square. Two numerical simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The simulation results show that the proposed control scheme has a fast convergence rate compared with the conventional adaptive pinning method.

By using the generalized Barbalat's lemma, the global asymptotic impulsive synchronization of the drive—response complex networks is derived and some corresponding sufficient conditions are also obtained. Numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness and the correctness of the synchronization criteria.     

Cluster projective synchronization between community networks with nonidentical nodes

In this paper, cluster projective synchronization between community networks with nonidentical nodes is investigated. Outer synchronization between two identical or nonidentical complex networks has been extensively studied, in which all the nodes synchronized each other in a common manner. However, in real community networks, different communities in networks usually synchronize with each other in a different manner, i.e., achieving cluster projective synchronization. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions for achieving cluster projective synchronization are derived through designing proper controllers. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the derived theoretical results.     

Adaptive Impulsive Outer Synchronization Between Drive-Response Dynamical Networks

In this paper, outer synchronization between drive-response dynamical networks is investigated. Impulsive control combining with adaptive strategy is adopted to design controllers for achieving the goal. Based on the Lyapunov function method and mathematical analysis technique, a synchronization criterion with respect to the impulsive gains and intervals is analytically derived. From the criterion, the impulsive gains can adjust themselves to proper values when the impulsive intervals and some constants are fixed, and vice versa. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the derived result.     

Cluster synchronization in community network with nonidentical nodes via intermittent pinning control

In this paper, cluster synchronization in community network with nonidentical nodes is investigated. By combining intermittency with a pinning control scheme, some effective controllers are designed. In the control scheme, only one node in each community is controlled and coupling weights of a spanning tree in each community are enhanced. Based on the Lyapunov function method and mathematical analysis technique, two results for achieving cluster synchronization are obtained. Noticeably, by introducing an adaptive strategy, some universal adaptive intermittent pinning controllers are designed for different networks. Finally, two numerical simulations are performed to verify the correctness of the derived results.     

Exponential synchronization of complex networks with nonidentical time-delayed dynamical nodes

In this Letter, exponential synchronization of a complex network with nonidentical time-delayed dynamical nodes is considered. Two effective control schemes are proposed to drive the network to synchronize globally exponentially onto any smooth goal dynamics. By applying open-loop control to all nodes and adding some intermittent controllers to partial nodes, some simple criteria for exponential synchronization of such network are established. Meanwhile, a pinning scheme deciding which nodes need to be pinned and a simply approximate formula for estimating the least number of pinned nodes are also provided. By introducing impulsive effects to the open-loop controlled network, another synchronization scheme is developed for the network with nonidentical time-delayed dynamical nodes, and an estimate of the upper bound of impulsive intervals ensuring global exponential stability of the synchronization process is also given. Numerical simulations are presented finally to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Synchronization in complex delayed dynamical networks with impulsive effects

The present paper is mainly concerned with the issues of synchronization dynamics of complex delayed dynamical networks with impulsive effects. A general model of complex delayed dynamical networks with impulsive effects is formulated, which can well describe practical architectures of more realistic complex networks related to impulsive effects. Based on impulsive stability theory on delayed dynamical systems, some simple but less conservative criterion are derived for global synchronization of such dynamical network. It is shown that synchronization of the networks is heavily dependent on impulsive effects of connecting configuration in the networks. Furthermore, the theoretical results are applied to a typical SF network composing of impulsive coupled chaotic delayed Hopfield neural network nodes, and are also illustrated by numerical simulations.     

Exponential cluster synchronization of impulsive delayed genetic oscillators with external disturbances

This paper investigates the problem of the exponential cluster synchronization of coupled impulsive genetic oscillators with external disturbances and communication delay. Based on the Kronecker product, some new cluster synchronization criteria for coupled impulsive genetic oscillators with attenuation level are derived. The derived results are related to the impulsive strength, and the derived results also indicate that the maximal allowable bound of time delay is inversely proportional to the decay rate, the decay rate is proportional to the couple strength, the maximal allowable bound of time delay is proportional to attenuation level, and the attenuation level is inversely proportional to the couple strength. Moreover, the case when the feedback have different self-delay is also investigated. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived results.     

Synchronization of complex dynamical networks with nonidentical nodes

This Letter investigates the synchronization problem of a complex network with nonidentical nodes, and proposes two effective control schemes to synchronize the network onto any smooth goal dynamics.

By introducing impulsive effects to the open-loop controlled network, another synchronization scheme is developed for the network composed of nonidentical nodes, and an upper bound of impulsive intervals is estimated to ensure the global stability of the synchronization process. Numerical simulations are given to verify the theoretical results.
