Synchronization of complex dynamic networks with coupling delays via quantized pinning control

In this paper, in the case of quantized communication and coupling delays, a novel quantized pinning control (QPC) law is designed to deal with the synchronization problem of complex dynamic networks (CDN). Utilizing the Lyapunov method, non-smooth analysis tools and convex combination techniques, some sufficient criteria for achieving synchronization of CDNs with coupling delays are given. Finally, the effectiveness of the main results is demonstrated by presenting a simulation example.
