Projective synchronization via adaptive pinning control for fractional-order complex network with time-varying coupling strength

This paper presents an adaptive projective pinning control method for fractional-order complex network. First, based on theories of complex network and fractional calculus, some preliminaries of mathematics are given. Then, an analysis is conducted on the adaptive projective pinning control theory for fractional-order complex network. Based on the projective synchronization control method and the combined adaptive pinning feedback control method, suitable projection synchronization scale factor, adaptive feedback controller and the node selection algorithm are designed to illustrate the synchronization for fractional-order hyperchaotic complex network. Simulation results show that all nodes are stabilized to equilibrium point. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the designed adaptive projective pinning controllers are efficient.
