Cluster synchronization in community networks with nonidentical nodes via edge-based adaptive pinning control

This paper investigates cluster synchronization in community networks with nonidentical nodes. Several effective strategies to enhance the coupling weights are designed. For the first time, adaptive enhancing factor method combined with edge-based pinning control is adopted to achieve synchronization. Furthermore, distributed adaptive pinning control scheme is adopted based on the local information of node dynamics. Noticeably, only the coupling weights of spanning trees in each community are tuned, which are low-cost and more practicable. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, some sufficient conditions for cluster synchronization are derived. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
