The topological structure of a dynamical network plays a pivotal part in its properties, dynamics and control. Thus, understanding and modeling the structure of a network will lead to a better knowledge of its evolutionary mechanisms and to a better cottoning on its dynamical and functional...

Many existing papers investigated the geometric features, control and synchronization of complex dynamical networks provided with certain topology. However, the exact topology of a network is sometimes unknown or uncertain. Based on LaSalle’s invariance principle, we propose an adaptive...

This paper investigates generalized synchronization of three typical classes of complex dynamical networks: scale-free networks, small-world networks, and interpolating networks. The proposed synchronization strategy is to adjust adaptively a node’s coupling strength based on the node’s...

This paper addresses the theoretical analysis of synchronization between two complex networks with nonidentical topological structures. By designing effective adaptive controllers, we achieve synchronization between two complex networks. Both the cases of identical and nonidentical network...

Recently, various papers investigated the geometry features, synchronization and control of complex network provided with certain topology. While, the exact topology of a network is sometimes unknown or uncertain. Using Lyapunov theory, we propose an adaptive feedback controlling method to...

Nowadays, as stressed by important strategic documents like for instance the 2009 EU White Paper on Adaptation or the recent 2009 "Copenhagen Accord", it is amply recognized that both mitigation and adaptation strategies are necessary to combat climate change. This paper enriches the rapidly...
