Synchronization of Fractional Discrete-Time Complex Networks with Time Delays via Event-Triggered Strategy

This paper is devoted to the synchronization problem of complex networks (CNs) by designing an event-triggered control scheme. The dynamics of CNs are modeled by fractional discrete-time difference equations with time delays. Then, the pinning event-triggered controlled fractional discrete-time complex networks (FDTCNs) are designed. A novel event-triggered control strategy and some sufficient conditions are derived for achieving synchronization. Finally, a representative example is given for illustration.
