An Observer-Based Topology Identification and Synchronization in Finite Time for Fractional Singularly Perturbed Complex Networks via Dynamic Event-Triggered Control

Abstract

AbstractThis paper investigates the topology identification and synchronization in finite time for fractional singularly perturbed complex networks (FSPCNs). Firstly, a convergence principle is developed for continuously differential functions. Secondly, a dynamic event-triggered mechanism (DETM) is designed to achieve the network synchronization, and a topology observer is developed to identify the network topology. Thirdly, under the designed DETM, by constructing a Lyapunov functional and applying the inequality analysis technique, the topology identification and synchronization condition in finite time is established in the forms of the matrix inequality. In addition, it is proved that the Zeno behavior can be effectively excluded. Finally, the effectiveness of the main results is verified by an application example.
