Finite-Time Antisynchronization and Parameters Identification of Nonlinear Coupled Multiple-Weight Markovian Switching Complex Networks with Stochastic Perturbations by Haifeng Qiu, Liguo Weng, Bin Yu, Yanghui Zhang

“…The paper mainly focuses on the synchronization of multiple-weight Markovian switching complex networks under nonlinear coupling mode. Based on the finite-time stability theory, Itô’s lemma, and some inequality technologies, the synchronization criterion of network models in the nonlinear coupling mode is obtained; at the same time, unknown parameters of networks are also identified by an effective controller. …”
