Observer-Based Quasi-Synchronization of Delayed Dynamical Networks With Parameter Mismatch Under Impulsive Effect.

This article focuses on the observer-based quasi-synchronization problem of delayed dynamical networks with parameter mismatch under impulsive effect. First, since the state of each node is unknown in the real situation, the state estimation strategy is proposed to estimate the state of each node, so as to design an appropriate synchronization controller. Then, the corresponding controller is constructed to synchronize the slave nodes with their leader node. In this article, we take the impulsive effect into consideration, which means that an impulsive signal will be applied to the system every so often. Due to the existence of parameter mismatch and time-varying delay, by constructing an appropriate Lyapunouv function, we will eventually obtain a differential equation with constant and time-varying delay terms. Then, we analyze its trajectory by introducing the Cauchy matrix and prove its boundedness by contradiction. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented to illustrate the validness of obtained results.
