Abstract
This paper concerns the impact of stochastic perturbations on the
intra-layer synchronization of the duplex networks. A duplex network
contains two layers ([1,2]). Different from the previous works,
environmental noise is introduced into the dynamical system of the
duplex network. We incorporate both the inter-layer delay and the
intra-layer delay into the dynamical system. Both of the delays are
time-varying. However, the paper [1] only considered the intra-layer
delays and they are assumed as the constants. While the paper [2]
did not consider the inter-layer delay or intra-layer delay. When the
system does not achieve automatic intra-layer synchronization, we
introduce two controllers: one is the state-feedback controller, the
other is the adaptive state-feedback controller. Interestingly, we find
that the intra-layer synchronization will achieve automatically if the
inter-layer coupling strength $c_1$ is large enough when the
time-varying inter-layer delays are absent. Finally, some interesting
simulation results are obtained for the Chua-Chua chaotic system with
application of our theoretic results, which show the feasibility
effectiveness of our control schemes.
