Finite-Time Synchronization for a Class of Multiweighted Complex Networks with Markovian Switching and Time-Varying Delay

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the finite-time synchronization control for a class of nonlinear coupled multiweighted complex networks (NCMWCNs) with Markovian switching and time-varying delay analytically and quantitatively. The value of this study lies in four aspects: First, it designs the finite-time synchronization controller to make the NCMWCNs with Markovian switching and time-varying delay achieve global synchronization in finite time. Second, it derives two kinds of finite-time estimation approaches by analyzing the impact of the nonlinearity of nonlinear coupled function on synchronization dynamics and synchronization convergence time. Third, it presents the relationship between Markovian switching parameters and synchronization problems of subsystems and the overall system. Fourth, it provides some numerical examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Finite‐time synchronization and identification of the Markovian switching delayed network with multiple weights

“…In [21], the stochastic multiple weighted coupled Markovian switching networks are considered. The finite-time synchronization for a class of non-linear coupled multi-weighted Markovian switching complex networks with time-varying delay is studied in [22]. In addition, the parameters of the real systems may be unknown or uncertain, and the synchronization process of the multi-weighted Markovian switching network may be affected or even disrupted by these unknown parameters [23,24].…”
