Summary: In this article, the global and exponential synchronization of Lur'e networks with hybrid time‐varying delays is investigated. For sake of saving control costs, a novel impulsive adaptive controller is presented, where the adaptive feedback control input is utilized to compensate the control effects of the impulsive signal. Meanwhile, suitable control gains are obtained according to the designing on adaptive updating laws. In view of the definition of average impulsive interval, the generalized comparison principle and the formula of parameter variation, sufficient conditions for achieving global and exponential synchronization of Lur'e dynamical networks are eventually derived. Two relevant numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of theoretical analysis and the control scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: This article is devoted to studying the problem of globally and exponentially adaptive cluster synchronization for a class of Lur'e dynamical networks with multiple time‐varying delays and hybrid couplings. A novel impulsive adaptive pinning feedback control protocol is proposed with fully considering the cluster‐tree topology structures of the networks and only imposed on the Lur'e systems in current cluster which exist directed paths with those Lur'e systems in the other clusters. In view of the concept of average impulsive interval, the comparison principle, the extended parameter variation methods, and the reductio ad absurdum, sufficient conditions are acquired for achieving the cluster synchronization of the derivative coupled Lur'e networks with considering different functions of the impulsive effects, respectively. Furthermore, according to the designed adaptive updating law, suitable feedback control strengths are obtained, which largely save the control costs. Finally, the effectiveness of the control schemes and the theoretical results have been proved by executing two numerical simulation examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: This paper is devoted to investigating the exponential synchronization of coupled Lur'e dynamical networks with multiple time‐varying delays and stochastic disturbance. The problem studied in this paper could be regarded as a kind of leader‐following synchronization issue. As the networks may suffer from certain impulsive disturbance, an effective distributed impulsive control protocol is proposed to synchronize the stochastic Lur'e dynamical networks. According to the comparison principle, the average impulsive interval, and the extended formula for the variation of parameters, sufficient conditions are derived for successful achievement of the network synchronization with consideration to different functions of impulsive effects. Furthermore, the exponential convergence rate is obtained based on the impulsive solution equation. In addition, finally, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the validity of the control scheme and the theoretical analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
