Analyzing projective synchronization on different scaling factors in a drive-response coupling dynamical network with time-varying delays

In this paper, projective synchronization of drive-response coupled dynamical network with delayed system nodes and coupling time-varying delay is investigated via impulsive control, where the scaling factors are different from each other. Different controllers are designed to achieve the projective synchronization: only impulsive control is used when the scaling factors need extra limitation, while an extra controller, that is, a simple linear feedback controller, is added when the scaling factors don??t need extra limitation. Based on the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation, the sufficient conditions for achieving projective synchronization of such coupled network are established, and an estimate of the upper bound of impulsive intervals ensuring global exponential synchronization of drive-response coupled dynamical network is also given. Numerical examples on the time-delay Lorenz chaotic systems are presented finally to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Finite-time synchronization for complex dynamical networks with hybrid coupling and time-varying delay

In this paper, the finite-time synchronization problem has been investigated for a general array model of dynamical networks with time-varying delay and hybrid coupling. The Lyapunov functional method and linear matrix inequality technique are employed to obtain some synchronization criteria less-conservative and delay-dependent. Here, the coupling configuration matrices are not required to be symmetric or irreducible, neither is their off-diagonal entries assumed to be nonnegative. Moreover, the inner linking matrices are arbitrary real matrices. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronous criteria.     

Adaptive synchronization of uncertain dynamical networks with delayed coupling

We propose a simple scheme for the synchronization of an uncertain complex dynamical network with delayed coupling. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory of functional differential equations, certain controllers can be designed for ensuring the states of uncertain dynamical network with coupling delays to globally asymptotically synchronize by combining the adaptive method and linear feedback with the updated feedback strength. Different update gains η _i will lead to different rates toward synchrony, the choice of which depends on the concrete systems and network models. This strategy can be applied to any complex dynamical network (regular, small-world, scale-free or random). Numerical examples with respectively nearest-neighbor coupling and scale-free structure are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our presented scheme.     

Finite-time synchronization for complex dynamical networks with time-varying delays

The finite-time synchronization problem of a class of complex dynamical networks with time-varying delays is addressed in this paper. The network topology is assumed to be directed and weakly connected. By introducing a special zero row-sum matrix and combining the Lyapunov?CKrasovskii functional method and the Kronecker product technique, a sufficient condition is presented, which consist of two simple low-dimensional matrix inequalities. Illustrative example is given to show the feasibility of the proposed method.

Complex projective synchronization in drive-response networks coupled with complex-variable chaotic systems

In drive-response complex-variable systems, projective synchronization with respect to a real number, real matrix, or even real function means that drive-response systems evolve simultaneously along the same or inverse direction in a complex plane. However, in many practical situations, the drive-response systems may evolve in different directions with a constant intersection angle. Therefore, this paper investigates projective synchronization in drive-response networks of coupled complex-variable chaotic systems with respect to complex numbers, called complex projective synchronization (CPS). The adaptive feedback control method is adopted first to achieve CPS in a general drive-response network. For a special class of drive-response networks, the CPS is achieved via pinning control. Furthermore, a universal pinning control scheme is proposed via the adaptive coupling strength method, several simple and useful criteria for CPS are obtained, and all results are illustrated by numerical examples.     

Synchronization of neutral complex dynamical networks with coupling time-varying delays

In this paper, the synchronization problem for a class of neutral complex dynamical networks with coupling time-varying delays is considered. A delay-dependent synchronization criterion is derived for the synchronization of neutral complex dynamical networks. By the use of a convex representation of the sector-restricted nonlinearity in system dynamics, the stability condition based on the discretized Lyapunov?CKrasovskii functional is obtained via LMI (linear matrix inequality) formulation. The effectiveness of our work is verified through a numerical example and simulation.     

Synchronization in complex dynamical networks with interval time-varying coupling delays

This paper deals with the synchronization problem of complex dynamical networks with interval time-varying coupling delays. A simple local linear feedback controller is introduced to guarantee the synchronizability of the networks. Some delay-dependent synchronization conditions for the controlled complex dynamical networks are presented by using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method and the reciprocally convex combination approach. Theoretical analysis and numerical examples show that the obtained conditions have less computational complexity and less conservatism than some recently reported ones.     

Sampling-interval-dependent synchronization of complex dynamical networks with distributed coupling delay

The problem of sampled-data synchronization of complex dynamical networks with distributed coupling delay and time-varying sampling is discussed in this paper. Based on the input delay approach and two integral inequalities, a stability criterion is proposed for the error dynamics, which is sampling-interval-dependent. Based on the given criterion, the design method of the desired sampled-data controllers is also obtained in terms of the solution to linear matrix inequalities, which can be checked effectively by using available software. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed result.

Exponential synchronization for second-order nonlinear systems in complex dynamical networks with time-varying inner coupling via distributed event-triggered transmission strategy

This paper focuses on the exponential synchronization problem of complex dynamical networks (CDNs) with time-varying inner coupling via distributed event-triggered transmission strategy. Information update is driven by properly defined event, which depends on the measurement error. Each node is described as a second-order nonlinear dynamic system and only exchanges information with its neighboring nodes over a directed network. Suppose that the network communication topology contains a directed spanning tree. A sufficient condition for achieving exponential synchronization of second-order nonlinear systems in CDNs with time-varying inner coupling is derived. Detailed theoretical analysis on exponential synchronization is performed by the virtues of algebraic graph theory, distributed event-triggered transmission strategy, matrix inequality and the special Lyapunov stability analysis method. Moreover, the Zeno behavior is excluded as well by the strictly positive sampling intervals based on the upper right-hand Dini derivative. It is noted that the amount of communication among network nodes and network congestion have been significantly reduced so as to avoid the waste of network resources. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed exponential synchronization criteria.

The existence of projective-dual-anticipating, projective-dual, and projective-dual-lag synchronization in a coupled time-delayed systems with modulated delay time is investigated via nonlinear observer design approach. Transition from projective-dual-anticipating to projective-dual synchronization and from projective-dual to projective-dual-lag synchronization as a function of variable coupling delay τ _p (t) is discussed. Using Krasovskii–Lyapunov stability theory, a general condition for projective-dual synchronization is derived. Numerical simulations on the chaotic Ikeda and Mackey–Glass systems are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
