Abstract

In this paper, we discuss distributive synchronization of complex networks in finite time, with a single nonlinear pinning controller. The results apply to heterogeneous dynamic networks, too. Different from many models, which assume the coupling matrix being symmetric (or the connecting graph is undirected), here, the coupling matrix is asymmetric (or the connecting graph is directed).
