Intermittent Control for Cluster-Delay Synchronization in Directed Networks

الملخص EN

We investigate cluster-delay synchronization of a directed network possessing cluster structures by designing an intermittent control protocol.

Based on Lyapunov stability theory, we proved that synchronization can be realized for oscillators in the same cluster and cluster-delay synchronization can be realized for the whole network.

By simplifying the obtained sufficient conditions, we carry out a succinct and utilitarian corollary.

In addition, comparative researches are carried out to show the differences and the usefulness of the obtained results with respect to other similar controllers from the recent literature.

Finally we provide two numerical examples to show the effectiveness of the control schemes.
