Cluster synchronization in complex dynamical networks via comparison principle
Xuyang Lou, Qian Ye, Baotong Cui · 2014
This paper focuses on the problem of cluster synchronization of a class of complex dynamical networks. Based on impulsive control theory and a comparison theorem, generic criteria for cluster synchronization are derived. It is shown that these criteria provide a novel and effective control approach to synchronize a general dynamical network to a cluster synchronization manifold by exposing the relationship between cluster synchronization, the impulsive intervals, and the graph topology.
