Finite-Time Synchronization of Coupled Networks With Markovian Topology and Impulsive Effects

摘要

This note considers globally finite-time synchronization of coupled networks with Markovian topology and distributed impulsive effects. The impulses can be synchronizing or desynchronizing with certain average impulsive interval. By using -matrix technique and designing new Lyapunov functions and controllers, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the synchronization within a setting time, and the conditions do not contain any uncertain parameter. It is demonstrated theoretically and numerically that the number of consecutive impulses with minimum impulsive interval of the desynchronizing impulsive sequence should not be too large. It is interesting to discover that the setting time is related to initial values of both the network and the Markov chain. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
