Anti-synchronization Between Two Coupled Networks with Unknown Parameters Using Adaptive and Pinning Controls

In this paper, we study anti-synchronization between two coupled networks where the node dynamics has an unknown system parameter. By designing adaptive and pinning control schemes, we realize the anti-synchronization. By Lyapunov stability theory, we obtain two theorems on the appearance of anti-synchronization. In addition, we derive a criterion for the pinning number of nodes. Finally we provide two numerical examples to show the effectiveness of our proposed control schemes. When the anti-synchronization is achieved, we successfully identify the unknown system parameter.
