Generalized synchronization-based partial topology identification of complex networks

Abstract

In this paper, partial topology identification of complex networks is investigated based on synchronization method. We construct the response networks consisting of nodes withsimplerdynamics than that in the drive networks. By constructing Lyapunov function, sufficient conditions are derived to guaranteepartial topology identificationby designing suitable controllers and parameters update laws.Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
