Intermittent Pinning Synchronization for Directed Networks With Switching Technique
Hong Sang, Jun Yan Zhao · IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems II Express Briefs · 2021
This research concerns the pinning synchronization of directed networks from the perspective of switched systems. Some vertices are appropriately selected to be pinned in accordance with an aperiodically intermittent pinning (AIP) strategy. The resultant synchronization error systems are then regarded as switching between two different connection topologies. Under the proposed novel piecewise time-dependent multiple Lyapunov function (PTDMLF) approach, the corresponding synchronization conditions with less conservativeness are formulated. Finally, the provided Chua’s circuit model substantiate the superiority and applicability of the theoretical results.
