This study introduces an asynchronous boundary control for delayed semi-Markov systems, achieving finite-time synchronization efficiently. The method uses a single boundary actuator and dual asynchronous controllers for practical implementation.
Area of Science:
- Control Theory
- Nonlinear Systems
- Stochastic Systems
Background:
- Delayed semi-Markov reaction-diffusion systems present challenges in achieving finite-time synchronization.
- Existing control strategies often require complex implementations or are less practical.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel asynchronous boundary control scheme for finite-time synchronization of delayed semi-Markov reaction-diffusion systems.
- To enhance practical implementation and economic feasibility of control strategies.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a new asynchronous boundary control scheme utilizing a single spatial boundary actuator.
- Introduced dual asynchronous semi-Markov chains for system parameters and controller jumps.
- Developed a new finite-time stability lemma and derived synchronization criteria using inequality methods and variable substitution.
Main Results:
- Successfully ensured finite-time synchronization of drive and response systems.
- Demonstrated the practical advantages of the boundary control scheme (easier implementation, economical).
- Validated the approach through numerical and secure communication application examples.
Conclusions:
- The proposed asynchronous boundary control scheme is effective for finite-time synchronization of delayed semi-Markov reaction-diffusion systems.
- The dual asynchronous semi-Markov chains offer a more practical modeling approach.
- The method provides a robust and efficient solution for synchronization problems in complex systems.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
