Parameter identification and adaptive–impulsive synchronization of uncertain complex networks with nonidentical topological structures

Abstract

In this paper, we integrate impulsive control and adaptive control methods, based on the stability theory of impulsive differential equations, synchronization of uncertain complex networks with nonidentical topological structures is investigated. By designing effective adaptive–impulsive controllers, we achieve synchronization criteria of uncertain complex networks with nonidentical topological structures, parameter identification is realized simultaneously as the synchronization occurs. Moreover, the case of identical topological structures is considered. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
