Finite Time Inter-Layer Synchronization of Duplex Networks via Event-Dependent Intermittent Control

This brief is devoted to the finite time inter-layer synchronization of duplex networks by means of intermittent control. Different from most previous works, the intermittent control scheme devised is an event-dependent type, which relaxes the strict constraints of control time. To be specific, the work time of intermittent controller is no longer set in advance, and determined by the relation between the designed Lyapunov function and two preset boundary functions. Based on the proposed intermittent control mechanism, a sufficient condition is given to guarantee the finite time inter-layer synchronization of the duplex networks. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the validness of theoretical results.
