GENERALIZED SYNCHRONIZATION OF A CLASS OF HETEROGENEOUS DRIVE RESPONSE NETWORKS WITH TIME DELAY BASED ON VARIABLE STRUCTURE CONTROL

In this study, the problem of synchronization of heterogeneous-driven response networks is introduced by using variable structure control strategy. First, the mathematical model of the heterogeneous-driven response network is described, and the development history of variable structure control is outlined. Second, considering the coupling time delay of the heterogeneous-driven response network, two types of variable structure controls are designed based on sliding mode control and soft variable structure control theories. Finally, the effectiveness of the two variable structure controls is verified through numerical simulation experiments, and a discussion on their advantages and disadvantages is provided.
