Asymptotically tracking control for discrete time-varying link system to structural balance via determined external stimulations
Yi Peng, Yinhe Wang, Lizhi Liu · International Journal of Modern Physics B · 2020
This paper is concerned with the structural balance problem for complex dynamical network with the help of coupling effect related to the external stimulations. Consider a network with time-varying and value-weighted links, which can be regarded as a dynamic system. The link dynamic system is modeled as a Riccati matrix difference equation with the coupling matrix related to the external stimulations. By using the Kronecker product as an effective tool, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to derive a simple criterion for ensuring that the discrete link system asymptotically achieves structural balance, meanwhile, the external stimulations track a corresponding vector signal as well. Simulation examples are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed control scheme in this paper.
