Abstract
In this paper, synchronization problem of higher-order networks with multiple time-varying delays is investigated via intermittent control. Unlike traditional networks limited to pairwise interactions, higher-order networks capture multi-node interactions, enabling modeling of more complex real-world systems. For achieving synchronization, the intermittent control strategy is introduced to design proper controller. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and mathematical analysis techniques, the sufficient conditions with intermittent gain, control rate and other parameters are obtained for synchronization of higher-order networks. Noticeably, we provide two cases for optimizing the control rate. Lastly, numerical simulations are provided to validate and demonstrate the accuracy of the derived results.
