Abstract

This paper regards the outer synchronization of multi-layer dynamical networks with additive couplings via aperiodically intermittent pinning control, in which different layers of each multi-layer network have different topological structures. First, a state-feedback intermittent pinning controller is designed in the drive and response configuration, and sufficient conditions to achieve the outer synchronization are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory and matrix inequalities. Second, outer synchronization problem of multi-layer networks is discussed by setting an adaptive intermittent pinning controller; an appropriate Lyapunov function is selected to prove the criteria of synchronization between the drive multi-layer network and the response multi-layer network. Finally, three simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness of our control schemes.
