Abstract

Abstract : This paper addresses the synchronization problem for a class of complex networks with time-varying topology as well as nonidentical nodes and coupling time-delay and presents two efficient control schemes to synchronize the network onto any given smooth goal dynamics. The time-varying network is supposed to be bounded within a certain range, which cannot be controlled. Through the adoption of hybrid control with linear static feedback control and adaptive feedback control, two control schemes are derived to guarantee such complex networks to reach the global synchronization. Finally, a set of numerical simulation experiments are carried out and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested control solutions.
