Event-Based Synchronization of Heterogeneous Complex Networks Subject to Transmission Delays

In this paper, the problem of event-based synchronization of heterogeneous complex networks is investigated. Specifically, the influence of transmission delays on event-based synchronization is considered. The designed distributed controller for each nonidentical node in heterogeneous network includes reference generator (RG) and robust regulator. Event-based communication protocol is utilized to ensure the synchronization among the identical RGs and target leader. Meanwhile, the interevent intervals are lower bounded by a positive constant. Furthermore, the proposed high-gain output feedback and adaptive control law guarantee that all nonidentical nodes converge to their RGs. Based on these two steps, which are coincided with the separation principle, nonidentical nodes can track the target leader. In addition, theoretical results are demonstrated by a numerical example.
