Global Synchronization of Complex Dynamical Networks with Internal Delay and Distributed Delay Coupling via Aperiodically Intermittent Control
Abstract: In this paper, the global synchronization problem for a class of complex dynamical networks with internal delay and distributed delay coupling is investigated via aperiodically intermittent control. The network topology is assumed to be directed. Based on the reduction to absurdity and mathematical induction method, some sufficient conditions to guarantee global synchronization are derived analytically. Different from previous works, the control type here is aperiodic intermittent with changeable control period, which expands the scope of practical applications of intermittent control strategy. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
