Finite-Time Passivity of Stochastic Coupled Complex Networks

Abstract

The finite-time passivity problem is, respectively, investigated for stochastic coupled complex networks (SCCNs) with and without time-varying delay. Firstly, we present several new concepts about finite-time passivity in the sense of expectation on the basis of existing passivity definition. By designing appropriate controllers, the finite-time passivity of SCCNs with and without time-varying delay is obtained. In addition, the definition of finite-time synchronization in the sense of expectation is proposed. Under some sufficient conditions and designed controllers, finite-time passivity derives finite-time synchronization. Finally, two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of finite-time passive and synchronization criteria.
