Finite-Time Bounded Synchronization of the Growing Complex Network with Nondelayed and Delayed Coupling

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to discuss finite-time bounded synchronization for a class of the growing complex network with nondelayed and delayed coupling. In order to realize finite-time synchronization of complex networks, a new finite-time stable theory is proposed; effective criteria are developed to realize synchronization of the growing complex dynamical network in finite time. Moreover, the error of two growing networks is bounded simultaneously in the process of finite-time synchronization. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to verify the theoretical results established in this paper.
