Synchronization of complex dynamical networks via distributed impulsive control

This paper studies synchronization problems of complex dynamical networks (CDNs) via distributed impulsive control. The concept of control topology is introduced to describe the whole controller structure, which is constituted by some directed connections between nodes. The control topology can be designed either to be the same with the coupling topology, or to be independent to the intrinsic network topology. Based on the concept of control topology, the impulsive controller is designed to ensure the synchronization of the CDNs. Illustrated examples are given to show the effectiveness of the distributed impulsive control strategy.
