This paper investigates event-triggered synchronization for complex networks with Markovian jumping parameters.Nonlinear dynamics with Markovian jumping parameters is considered for each node in a complex network. By utilizing the proposed event-triggered strategy, and based on the Lyapunov functional method and linear matrix inequality technology,some sufficient conditions for synchronization of complex networks are derived whether the transition rate matrix for the Markov process is completely known or not. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.
Consensus in directed networks of multiple agents, as an important topic, has become an active research subject.Over the past several years, some types of consensus problems have been studied. In this paper, we propose a novel type of consensus, the generalized consensus(GC), which includes the traditional consensus, the anti-consensus, and the cluster consensus as its special cases. Based on the Lyapunov's direct method and the graph theory, a simple control algorithm is designed to achieve the generalized consensus in a network of agents. Numerical simulations of linear and nonlinear GC are used to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
