Prefixed-Time Local Intermittent Sampling Synchronization of Stochastic Multicoupling Delay Reaction-Diffusion...

This article focuses on the problem of prefixed-time synchronization for stochastic multicoupled delay dynamic networks with reaction-diffusion terms and discontinuous activation by means of local intermittent sampling control. Notably, unlike the existing common fixed-time synchronization, this article puts forward a new synchronization concept, prefixed-time synchronization, based on the fact that stochastic noise and discontinuous activation can be seen everywhere in practical engineering, which can effectively perfect and improve the existing works. Specifically, a local intermittent in the time domain and point sampling control strategy in the spatial domain is proposed instead of a simple single intermittent control approach, which greatly reduces the control cost. In addition, by some effective means, including the famous Young's inequality, Jensen's inequality, and Hölder's inequality, we obtain two different synchronization criteria of the networks without delay and with multicoupling delays and deeply reveal the quantitative relationship among control period, point sampling length, and network scale. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the effectiveness of the developed method and the practicability by Chua's circuit model.
