Abstract

This paper investigates the issue of almost sure cluster synchronization in nonlinearly coupled complex networks with nonidentical nodes and time-varying delay. These networks are modulated by a continuous-time Markov chain and disturbed by a Brownian movement. The decentralized adaptive update law and pinning control protocol are employed in designing controllers for guaranteeing almost sure cluster synchronization. By constructing a novel stochastic Lyapunov–Krasovskii function and using the stochastic Lasalle-type invariance theorem, some sufficient conditions for almost sure cluster synchronization of the networks are derived. Finally, a numerical example is given to testify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
