<abstract><p>In this paper, the finite-time and fixed-time stochastic synchronization of complex networks with pinning control are investigated. Considering the time and energy cost of control, combining the advantages of finite-time control technology and pinning control technology, efficient protocols are proposed. Compared with the existing research, the influence of noise is considered, and sufficient conditions for the network to achieve stochastic synchronization in a finite time are given in this paper. Based on the stability theory of stochastic differential equations, the upper bound of the setting time is estimated. Finally, the effects of control parameters, noise intensity, and the number of control agents on the network synchronization rate are studied. Numerical simulations verify the validity and correctness of the theoretical results.</p></abstract>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
