Finite-Time Generalized Outer Synchronization Between Two Different Complex Networks
Yongzheng Sun, Wang Li, Jiong Ruan · Communications in Theoretical Physics · 2012
This paper investigates the finite-time generalized outer synchronization between two complex dynamical networks with different dynamical behaviors. The two networks can be undirected or directed, and they may also contain isolated nodes and clusters. By using suitable controllers, sufficient conditions for finite-time generalized outer synchronization are derived based on the finite-time stability theory. Finally, numerical examples are examined to illustrate the effectiveness of the analytical results. The effect of control parameters on the synchronization time is also numerically demonstrated.
