Lag synchronisation of master–slave dynamical systems via intermittent control

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the problem on lag synchronisation is investigated for a master–slave model. The intermittent control method is used to design controllers, lag synchronisation criteria are proposed. Together with some Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals and effective mathematical techniques, several conditions are derived. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
