Abstract
This article presents several new α -passivity and α -finite-time passivity ( α -FTP) concepts for the fractional-order systems with different input and output dimensions, which are distinct from the concepts for integer-order systems and extend the existing passivity and FTP definitions to some extent. On one hand, we not only develop some sufficient conditions for ensuring the α -passivity of the multi-weighted fractional-order complex dynamical networks (MWFOCDNs) with fixed and adaptive couplings, but also discuss the synchronization for the MWFOCDNs based on the α -output-strict passivity ( α -OSP). On the other hand, the α -FTP for the MWFOCDNs with fixed and adaptive couplings are also studied on the basis of the designed state feedback controller, and the relationship between finite-time synchronization (FTS) and α -FTP for the MWFOCDNs is also illustrated. Finally, two numerical examples with simulation results are used to demonstrate the validity of the obtained criteria.
