Abstract

In this Letter, pinning synchronization of a directed network with Markovian jump (DNMJ) and nonlinear perturbations is considered. By analyzing the structure of the network, a detailed pinning scheme is given to ensure the synchronization of all nodes in a DNMJ. This pinning scheme can overcome those difficulties on deciding which nodes needs to be pinned. This scheme can also identify the exact least number of pinned nodes for a DNMJ model. In addition, the time-varying polytopic directed network with Markovian jump is discussed. Finally, examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the gained criteria. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
