Sampled-Data-Based Adaptive Group Synchronization of Second-Order Nonlinear Complex Dynamical Networks with Time-Varying Delays

This paper studies the adaptive group synchronization of second-order nonlinear complex dynamical networks with sampled-data and time-varying delays by designing a new adaptive strategy to feedback gains and coupling strengths. According to Lyapunov stability properties, it is shown that the agents of subgroups can converge the given synchronous states, respectively, under some conditions on the sampled period. Moreover, some simulation results are given.
