Projective synchronization for uncertain network based on modified sliding mode control technique

In this paper, we propose a novel synchronization technique to investigate the projective synchronization of a class of uncertain network. First, the sliding mode control technique is modified. Then, the sliding surface between each node of the network and the synchronization target and the control input of the network are designed, and the uncertain parameter in the network can be effectively identified using the identification law of the uncertain parameter. In the end, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the synchronization technique proposed in our work. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
