Synchronization of singular Markovian jumping complex networks with additive time-varying delays via pinning control

Abstract This study examines the problem of synchronization for singular complex dynamical networks with Markovian jumping parameters and two additive time-varying delay components. The complex networks consist of m modes which switch from one mode to another according to a Markovian chain with known transition probability. Pinning control strategies are designed to make the singular complex networks synchronized. Based on the appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, introducing some free weighting matrices and using convexity of matrix functions, a novel synchronization criterion is derived. The proposed sufficient conditions are established in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
