Cai, Shuiming; Liu, Zengrong; Xu, Fengdan; Shen, Jianwei Periodically intermittent controlling complex dynamical networks with time-varying delays to a desired orbit. (English) Zbl 1234.34035 Phys. Lett., A 373, No. 42, 3846-3854 (2009). Summary: This Letter investigates the problem of synchronization in complex dynamical networks with time-varying delays. A periodically intermittent control scheme is proposed to achieve global exponential synchronization for a general complex network with both time-varying delays dynamical nodes and time-varying delays coupling. It is shown that the sates of the general complex network with both time-varying delays dynamical nodes and time-varying delays coupling can globally exponentially synchronize with a desired orbit under the designed intermittent controllers. Moreover, a typical network consisting of the time-delayed Chua oscillator with nearest-neighbor unidirectional time-varying delays coupling is given as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control methodology.
