文摘This paper investigates the synchronization problem of clock oscillators in nonlinear dynamical network with arbitrary time-delays.First,a dynamic synchronization algorithm based on consensus control strategy,named fast averaging syn-chronization algorithm(FASA),is presented to find a solution to the synchronization problem.This algorithm can compensate the clock skew and offset differences between clock nodes,achieving the synchronization of clock nodes in a shorter time as compared to previous synchronization methods.Second,because of the dynamical performance of FASA,it is characterized from the perspective of compartmental dynamical system with arbitrary time-delays.In this case,the algorithm guarantees the states of all clock nodes in dynamical network converge to Lyapunov stable equilibria.Finally,numerical simulations and experimental results demonstrate the correctness and effciency of the FASA,which means that the clock nodes can reach global consensus,and the synchronization error can reach nanosecond order of magnitude.
