Finite-Time Synchronization of Complex Networks with Intermittent Couplings and Neutral-Type Delays
Engang Tian, Yi Zou, Hongtian Chen
Abstract
Dear Editor, This letter focuses on the finite-time synchronization (FTS) of neutral-type complex networks with intermittent couplings. Different from most of the existing references concerning neutral-type systems, a delay-independent dynamical event-triggering controller is considered, operating the same way as the intermittent coupling and excluding the Zeno behavior naturally. By introducing a vector-based Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF), the FTS criteria are obtained based on a set of vector inequalities, which are less conservative than the corresponding algebraic one. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the merits of the theoretical analysis.
