Fully Distributed Synchronization of Complex Networks With Adaptive Coupling Strengths
研究了仅利用局部邻居信息设计并调整每个节点的耦合强度，实现复杂网络完全分布式无领导同步，无需任何全局信息。
This article considers the fully distributed leaderless synchronization in a complex network by only utilizing local neighboring information to design and tune the coupling strength of each node such that the synchronization problem can be solved without involving any global information of the network. For an undirected network, a fully distributed synchronization algorithm is presented to adjust the coupling strength of each node based on a simple adaptive law. When the topology of a network is directed, two different types of adaptive algorithms are developed to achieve synchronization in a fully distributed manner, where the coupling strength of each node is designed to be either the sum or product of two non-negative scalar functions. The fully distributed leaderless synchronization of a directed network is investigated in a leader-follower framework, where the leader subnetwork is analyzed by using the techniques from constrained Rayleigh quotients and the follower subnetwork is addressed by employing the properties of nonsingular M -matrices. Simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
