Abstract

In this paper, a novel adaptive nonlinear controller is designed to achieve stochastic synchronization of complex networks. We find that this novel adaptive nonlinear controller is less conservative and may be more widely used than the traditional adaptive linear controller. By using the properties of Weiner process, the stochastic synchronization of complex networks with stochastic perturbation via the proposed novel adaptive nonlinear controller can be achieved. Experimental tests demonstrate the superior performance of this novel adaptive nonlinear controller as compared to a conventional adaptive linear controller.
