Abstract
This paper addresses the problem with respect to finite-time (FT) synchronization for fractional-order (FO) complex networks. Based on hybrid feedback control technique, Lyapunov approach, and some novel analysis techniques of fractional calculation, some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee FT synchronization, and the estimation bound of the setting time for synchronization is given. It is meaningful to find that the setting time is dependent on fractional order, controller parameters and initial value of networks. At last, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of our proposed control method and verify our theoretical results. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
