Finite-time multi-switching synchronization behavior for multiple chaotic systems with network transmission mode.

By considering network transmission mode, this paper addresses the finite-time multi-switching synchronization problem for two kinds of multiple chaotic systems. For multiple same-order chaotic systems, we construct the general switching rules and analyze the existence of switching cases. The presented schemes guarantee the states of each derive system to be finite-timely synchronized with the desired states of every respond system in the different transmission paths and switching sequences. For multiple different order chaotic systems, we analyze a special multi-switching hybrid synchronization behavior, where part of the states are completely synchronized and the others belong to combination synchronization. Moveover, the easily verifiable criterion is derived for such synchronization. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the presented theoretical results.
