Pinning sampled‐data synchronization of complex dynamical networks with Markovian jumping and mixed delays using multiple integral approach

This study deals with the pinning synchronization problem for complex dynamical networks (CDNs) with Markovian jumping parameters and mixed delays under sampled‐data control technique. The mixed delays cover both discrete and distributed delays. The Markovian jumping parameters are modeled as a continuous‐time, finite‐state Markov chain. The sufficient conditions for asymptotic synchronization of considered networks are obtained by utilizing novel Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional and multiple integral approach. The obtained criteria is formulated in terms of LMIs, which can be checked for feasibility by making use of available softwares. Lastly, numerical simulation results are presented to validate the advantage of the propound theoretical results. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 622–632, 2016
