Passive Synchronization for Markov Jump Genetic Oscillator Networks with Time-varying Delays

In this paper, the synchronization problem of coupled Markov jump genetic oscillator networks with time-varying delays and external disturbances is investigated. By introducing the drive-response concept, a novel mode-dependent control scheme is proposed, which guarantees that the synchronization can be achieved. By applying the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method and stochastic analysis, sufficient conditions are established based on passivity theory in terms of linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
