Bounded synchronization of complex dynamical networks with prescribed performance via event-based transmission strategy

This paper addresses a novel prescribed performance synchronization of complex dynamical networks by means of event-triggered communication protocols. With the designed controller and proposed even-triggered communication strategy, this paper have advantages of guaranteeing the transient and steady-state performance of complex dynamic networks and avoiding the continuous communication of networks for reducing the number of communications and saving the network resources. In addition, the Zeno behavior is avoided in the networks. At last, the effectiveness of the theoretic results obtained is verified via the application in the complex dynamical network with Chua's circuit.
