Finite-time synchronization of cyclic switched complex networks under feedback control

摘要

In this paper, the global finite-time synchronization between two cyclic switched complex dynamical networks is investigated via feedback control. Based on the cyclic dwell time approach, finite-time stability theorem and some inequality techniques, several sufficient criteria are proposed to ensure finite-time synchronization for a class of cyclic switched complex networks (CSCNs) with and without coupling delay. The obtained criteria not only provide a feasible approach to design state feedback controllers but also fully reveal the trade-off among the cyclic dwell time, the finite convergence time and the initial state. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results. (C) 2016 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
