Pinning stochastic sampled-data control for exponential synchronization of directed complex dynamical networks with sampled-data communications

摘要

This paper is concerned with the exponential synchronization of directed complex dynamical networks (CDNs) with sampled-data communications (SDCs) via pinning stochastic sampled-data control. Different from traditional directed CDNs with determined sampling intervals, multiple stochastic varying sampling intervals with given probabilities are considered in this paper. Compared with some existing control schemes, our control method is more practical because the random sampling intervals always happen in some practical situation. In addition, a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) with some new terms is constructed, which can fully capture the information on stochastic sampling intervals, stochastic input delays, and nonlinear functions. Based on the LKF and Wirtinger’s inequality, less conservative synchronization criteria are obtained. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and superiorities of the proposed results.
