A generalized complex dynamical networks model with neutral-type coupling delay is proposed, which is an extension for the systems without time delay and with the retarded delay. By some transformation, the synchronization problem of the complex networks is transferred equally into the...

This paper is concerned with the problem of global synchronization for a class of dynamical complex networks composed of general Lur’e systems. Based on the absolute stability theory and the Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov (KYP) lemma, sufficient conditions are established to guarantee global...

The problem of reliable guaranteed cost sampling control is investigated for nonlinear time-delay systems in this paper. Sufficient conditions for the existence of state feedback controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequities (LMIs), which guarantee asymptotic stability with the...

This article addresses the reliable synchronization problem for a general class of chaotic systems. By combining the Lyapunov stability theory with the linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization technique, a reliable feedback controller is established to guarantee synchronization between the...

In this paper, some decentralized control problems composed of two subsystems are addressed from a special perspective. First, it is pointed out that some subsystems must be unstable to stabilize the overall interconnected system in some special cases. Then, a special kind of decentralized...

The premium pricing process and the reserve stability under uncertainty are very challenging issues in the insurance industry. In practice, a premium which is sufficient enough to cover the expected claims and to keep stable the derived reserves is always required. This paper proposes a premium...

The aim of this paper is to propose an output coupling and feedback scheme, which is not only to guarantee the asymptotic synchronization between the master and the slave chaotic systems with multiple time-delays but also to attenuate the effects of noise perturbation on the overall error system...
