Exponential Synchronization of a Class of N-Coupled Complex Partial Differential Systems with Time-Varying Delay

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the exponential synchronization for a class of N-coupled complex partial differential systems (PDSs) with time-varying delay. The synchronization error dynamic of the PDSs is defined in the q-dimensional spatial domain. To achieve synchronization, we added a linear feedback controller. A sufficient condition is derived to ensure the exponential synchronization of the proposed networks using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability approach and matrix inequality technology. The proposed system has broad applications. Two example applications are presented in the final section of this paper to verify the proposed theoretical result.
