The possible propagation of envelope waves in a network of N elastically rotating pendulums, featuring both smooth and discontinuous nonlinearities and coupled in the transverse direction, is investigated in this paper. Using the Lagrange formulation, the set of irrational equations describing the network is derived and subsequently reduced, via the continuum medium approximation, to the irrational extended sine-Gordon equation, which extends the basic sine-Gordon equation by incorporating additional nonlinear irrational terms as well as nonlinear derivative terms in space. These irrational terms are responsible for the emergence of a new envelope signal in the form of bursting waves. The solutions of the network equation are analyzed through phase portrait bifurcation and the stability of equilibrium points, revealing the existence of vertical homoclinic orbits that predict compact-like kink solutions. Some exact expressions of these solutions are obtained for specific parameter ranges, including envelope kink and periodic solitons, while for other cases, the compact-like kink solitons and additional solutions are approximated as trigonometric functions of a specific function expanded in a power series.

This article investigates the problem of quantized dynamic output feedback control for discrete-time nonlinear systems with dual-channel event triggering. Firstly, an interval type-2 (IT2) Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is adopted to describe the nonlinear dynamics of the plant. Then, uniform dynamic quantizers and improved event-triggered mechanisms are introduced into the communication network to reduce the number of network packets and efficiently allocate limited communication resources. This paper aims to design an IT2 fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller, such that the asymptotic stability and performance of the closed-loop systems can be guaranteed under dual-channel event triggering and quantization. Moreover, all design parameters can be calculated through a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a simulation example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper focuses on the fixed-time synchronization (FXS) of spatiotemporal networks (STNs) with Robin boundary condition by designing an intermittent event-triggered control scheme. Firstly, a new criterion with respect to the intermittent fixed-time stability, is established for nonlinear systems. Secondly, an intermittent dynamic event-triggered boundary controller is designed to achieve the FXS for the considered STNs. Meanwhile, a continuous function with the lower bound is introduced to avoid the Zeno behavior for the designed event-triggered mechanism. By applying the Lyapunov functional method, inequality analysis technique and the proposed fixed-time stability criterion, the FXS condition is addressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In addition, the settling-time (ST), which is irrelative to the initial value of network systems, is estimated exactly. Finally, a simulation example and an application in the image encryption are performed to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis.

This paper investigates the consensus problem of edge dynamics in matrix-weighted multi-agent systems and explores its relationship with corresponding node-dynamics. First, we study consensus in directed networks with matrix-weights, establishing algebraic necessary and sufficient conditions for achieving edge-dynamics consensus. Then, from a topological perspective, we derive several sufficient or necessary conditions for edge-dynamics consensus. To enhance system control, we improve consensus protocols by adding a control term and propose algorithms for achieving asymptotic consensus under matrix-weights. Finally, we explore and validate the relationship between node-dynamics and corresponding edge-dynamics through numerical simulations.

This paper addresses the event-triggered fixed-time cluster synchronization of coupled reaction-diffusion neural networks under mixed cyber-attacks. First, some improved Lyapunov-based criteria for fixed-time stability are derived, offering a less conservative upper-bound estimate of the settling time. A novel event-triggering mechanism with a time-varying threshold is then introduced, and a security-based cluster synchronization scheme is developed based on this mechanism. By leveraging the piecewise Lyapunov function approach and hybrid systems analysis methods, we establish sufficient conditions to ensure fixed-time synchronization between follower nodes with interacting clusters and target nodes, even in the presence of mixed cyber-attacks. Moreover, this paper quantifies the relationship between mixed cyber-attacks and the convergence rate of the synchronization strategy. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through comprehensive simulations and experiments, demonstrating its superiority over existing fixed-time stability strategy and event-triggered synchronization protocol.

With the widespread application of multiagent systems (MASs) in complex industrial environments, their cooperative control capabilities are limited by the effective coverage range of communication devices. The information exchange between agents is only feasible within the preset communication radius. Exceeding this threshold will lead to network connectivity loss, thereby interrupting real-time cooperation between agents. Considering the above issues, this paper formulates a connectivity-preserving cooperative control strategy for MASs with constrained communication ranges. A new nonlinear transformation method for synchronization error is proposed, which not only avoids the singularity problem of tracking errors at the initial time, but also dynamically adjusts the boundary function based on the initial distances of the agents. A modified switching dynamic event-triggered mechanism is presented to reduce the transmission burden, its advantage is that it can adaptively select an ideal communication threshold based on the tracking performance indicators and improve the flexibility of control scheme. In addition, a privacy preservation mechanism with adjustable protection time is applied to improve the security of the system. By using Lyapunov stability theory, it is demonstrated that all signals remain bounded in the closed-loop systems and all followers converge to the neighborhood of the leader output. At last, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme through a simulation example.

This paper presents an innovative adaptive sliding mode predefined-time synchronization (PTS) control scheme tailored for cyclic memristive neural networks (CMNNs) with uncertain internal parameters. Distinguishing itself from finite-time synchronization (FTS), fixed-time synchronization (FxTS), and traditional PTS methods, the proposed scheme achieves rapid convergence within a predefined-time and exhibits exceptional robustness against internal uncertainties and external disturbances. The scheme incorporates a novel Lyapunov condition alongside adaptive control laws to improve synchronization performance and ensure system stability. Comparative experiments reveal that the proposed approach substantially outperforms conventional methods in terms of convergence speed, robustness, and adaptability. Furthermore, a multi-stage chaotic secure communication framework is developed leveraging the CMNN. The deployment of the designed PTS scheme within multi-stage secure communication underscores its practicality for reliable and efficient encryption and decryption of complex signals. Numerical simulations validate the proposed scheme’s extensive applicability to secure communication and advanced control systems.

This paper investigates the prescribed-time non-smooth distributed optimization problems (DOPs) with mixed constraints for multi-agent systems (MASs). First, a lemma is introduced to describe the relationship between any two vectors in a convex set and their elements in a normal cone, which plays a crucial role in the convergence analysis of the algorithm. Second, a non-singular prescribed-time distributed optimization algorithm (DOA) is proposed based on the time-varying transformation function, and the optimal solution of the DOP is obtained through the projection sub-gradient algorithm and the proximal operator algorithm. In particular, the proposed algorithm reduces the conservativeness that the objective function is strongly convex and smooth. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the DOA are validated through numerical simulation, and the impact of the adjustable parameter on the convergence performance is discussed, along with a comparison to existing algorithms.

This brief concerns with the finite-time synchronization (FTS) and finite-time anti-synchronization (FTAS) for fuzzy memristive competitive neural networks (FMCNNs) with reaction-diffusion (RD) terms. The studied neural networks (NNs) are transformed into network systems with uncertain parameters. In particular, the uncertain parameters in the fuzzy feedback connection weights are addressed through two low-conservatism inequalities. By introducing a scale parameter, both types of synchronization are studied in a unified framework. Using a non-delay-dependent control strategy, we establish the conditions for FTS and FTAS by means of a weighted 2-norm Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Moreover, corresponding estimates for the settling time are provided. Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the theoretical results.

Iterative learning control (ILC) is an effective control strategy that has been widely applied in dynamic systems requiring repetitive task execution. However, drive-response neural networks face challenges in achieving high-precision tracking in applications, particularly under dynamic conditions and uncertainties, where traditional control methods often fail to meet performance requirements. To address this issue, this paper investigates a class of tracking control problems for drive-response neural networks based on P-type and impulsive adaptive iterative learning control. The goal is to design a novel hybrid iterative learning control algorithm to enhance the system’s tracking capability. P-type control effectively reduces tracking errors by utilizing historical control information, while the impulsive adaptive mechanism improves the system’s adaptability in dynamic environments, allowing control parameters to be adjusted based on real-time feedback. Furthermore, by applying the Bellman-Gronwall inequality, new criteria are established to realize tracking control for drive-response neural networks. Finally, the simulation results show that the control strategy exhibits significant advantages in reducing the tracking error and improving the convergence speed.
