Finite-time synchronization of cyclic switched complex networks under feedback control

In this paper, the global finite-time synchronization between two cyclic switched complex dynamical networks is investigated via feedback control. Based on the cyclic dwell time approach, finite-time stability theorem and some inequality techniques, several sufficient criteria are proposed to ensure finite-time synchronization for a class of cyclic switched complex networks (CSCNs) with and without coupling delay. The obtained criteria not only provide a feasible approach to design state feedback controllers but also fully reveal the trade-off among the cyclic dwell time, the finite convergence time and the initial state. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
