Finite-time synchronization of complex dynamical networks with time-varying delays and nonidentical nodes (Q1794177)

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the Finite-Time Synchronization (FTS) problem for a class of time-delayed complex networks with nonidentical nodes onto any uniformly smooth state. By employing the finite-time stability theorem and designing two types of novel controllers, we obtain some simple sufficient conditions for the FTS of addressed complex networks. Furthermore, we also analyze the effects of control variables on synchronization performance. Finally, we show the effectiveness and feasibility of our methods by giving two numerical examples.
