Asymptotic Output Synchronization for Time-varying Delay Complex Dynamical Networks with Nonlinear Coupling Functions
The problem of asymptotic output synchronization is investigated for a type of complex dynamic networks with different dimensional nodes,nonlinear internal coupling functions and time-varying delays via decentralized adaptive output feedback control method.For the case that the outer coupling matrix of the network model is time-varying,non-zero row sum and asymmetric,decentralized adaptive output feedback controller is designed to realize the asymptotic output synchronization of network.The correctness of the proposed adaptive output feedback control strategy is proved by the Lyapunov stability theory and the Barbalat's lemma.Finally,a numerical simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed theoretical results.
