Adaptive backstepping synchronization for a class of uncertain complex dynamical networks

This paper proposes an adaptive backstepping synchronization method for a class of uncertain complex dynamical network (CDN). The proposed method is applied by transforming the CDN into the nonautonomous strict-feedback form. Moreover, it gurantees the synchronization of all network nodes with an isolated reference one, even though the nodes have some parameter uncertainties. An example is given to demonstraste the effectiveness of the proposed method.
