Global Exponential Synchronization

This paper focuses on the global exponential synchronization problem of nonlinearly coupled complex dynamical networks with time-varying coupling delays. Several simple and generic global exponential synchronization criteria are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the Dini derivatives using the Halanay and generalized Halanay inequalities. These criteria rely on system parameters alone and can be used conveniently in practical applications. In addition, the system parameters do not satisfy the conditions of the proposed criteria. That is, the system itself cannot synchronize. However, system synchronization can be achieved by adding the appropriate feedback controllers, thereby providing a practical and effective control method for complex dynamical networks. An estimation method of exponential convergence rate is also presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed criteria is verified through numerical simulations.

Markovian Jump Parameters

The exponential synchronization and sampled-data controller problem for a class of neutral complex dynamical networks (NCDNs) with Markovian jump parameters, partially unknown transition rates and delays, is investigated in this paper. Both the discrete and neutral delays are considered to be interval mode dependent and time varying, while the sampling period is assumed to be time varying and bounded. Based on a new augmented stochastic Lyapunov functional, the delay-range-dependent and rate-dependent exponential stability conditions for the closed-loop error system are obtained by the Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory and reciprocally convex lemma. Then according to the proposed exponential stability conditions, the sampled-data synchronization controllers are designed in terms of the solution to linear matrix inequalities that can be solved effectively by using Matlab. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
