Aperiodically Intermittent Control for Finite-Time Synchronization of Delayed Complex Dynamical Networks

In this paper, we consider the finite-time synchronization problem for delayed complex dynamical networks with both nonidentical nodes and uncertain disturbances. The aperiodically intermittent controller is constructed such that the considered complex network can be synchronized onto the target node in a finite-time. A new type of finitetime synchronization criterion can be derived, and applied to a special case of identical nodes and without uncertain disturbances.
