The significant system characteristics, i.e., complex impulse effects, time-varying growth rates, and higher-order nonlinearities, render existing finite-time control schemes inapplicable. To overcome these challenges, we apply a dual dynamic gain approach with a state transformation to transform the FTS problem into a problem of constructing dynamic equations. Then, the relationship between the system structure, impulse effect and settling time is delicately revealed. The results show that under the constructed controller, all the closed-loop signals are bounded, the system states converge to the origin in finite time, and the settling time is effectively estimated despite the presence of impulse effects. In addition, by enhancing the gain updating mechanism, we establish an improved finite-time control scheme for systems with low-order and high-order nonlinearities.

We rigorously prove that, if the settling time is larger than 1, then no matter what the initial value is, the intersection exists only once before the settling time; otherwise, there is no intersection. Moreover, an energy consumption evaluation function is also put forward for PTSta, whose exact value is also calculated via exponential integrals. Then, this intersection theory is applied on the PTSyn of multiweighted complex networks, which is beneficial to construct the switching control scheme or choose the optimal parameters to reduce the energy cost. The rearranging variables’ order technique is utilized to conduct the multiweighted complex networks and obtain the synchronization criterion.
