Cluster synchronization in colored community network with different order node dynamics

In this paper, a colored community network model with different order nodes dynamics is introduced for the first time. The color of nodes or edges are assumed to be identical if they belong to the same community and nonidentical if they belong to different communities. The color of edges between any pair of communities are assumed to be identical if they connect the same pair of communities and nonidentical if they connect different pair of communities. Further, the order of the node dynamics in different communities can be totally different. Firstly, based on the Lyapunov stability theory, adaptive feedback controllers are designed for achieving cluster synchronization. Secondly, periodically intermittent controllers are designed for achieving cluster synchronization and the synchronization conditions are derived by using mathematical induction method and the analysis technique. Finally, several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived theoretical results.
