H∞ event-triggered synchronization control of singular semi-Markov switched complex networks with transmitted delays

This paper deals with the H-infinity exponential synchronization problem of singular semi-Markov switched complex dynamical networks (CDNs) subject to transmitted delays. Firstly, an event-triggered commu-nication mechanism (ETCM) is developed to save singular semi-Markov switched CDNs bandwidth. A positive constant sampled-data interval is applied to avoid the Zeno behavior in an ETCM. Secondly, by discussing the data transmission of sensors and controllers, the novel delays singular semi-Markov switched CDNs are modeled to investigate the H-infinity exponential synchronization problem of singular semi-Markov switched CDNs with transmitted delays via the based-on ETCM output control protocol. Moreover, some new sufficient conditions are established such that H-infinity exponential synchronization of singular semi-Markov switched CDNs can be achieved. Finally, the simulation result of the presented method is shown via two cases, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the main results. (C) 2022 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
