Intralayer Synchronization of Multiplex Dynamical Networks via Pinning Impulsive Control

IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics

Abstract

These days, the synchronization of multiplex networks is an emerging and important research topic. Grounded framework and theory about synchronization and control on multiplex networks are yet to come. This article studies the intralayer synchronization on a multiplex network (i.e., a set of networks connected through interlayer edges), via the pinning impulsive control method. The topologies of different layers are independent of each other, and the individual dynamics of nodes in different layers are different as well. Supra-Laplacian matrices are adopted to represent the topological structures of multiplex networks. Two cases are considered according to impulsive sequences of multiplex networks: 1) pinning controllers are applied to all the layers simultaneously at the instants of a common impulse sequence and 2) pinning controllers are applied to each layer at the instants of distinct impulse sequences. Using the Lyapunov stability theory and the impulsive control theory, several intralayer synchronization criteria for multiplex networks are obtained, in terms of the supra-Laplacian matrix of network topology, self-dynamics of nodes, impulsive intervals, and the pinning control effect. Furthermore, the algorithms for implem...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
