The finite-time synchronization criteria are derived based on finite-time stability theory, the differential inequality and the analysis technique. Since the traditional synchronization criteria for some models are improved in the convergence time by using the novel periodically intermittent adaptive control and periodically intermittent feedback control , the results of this paper are important. Numerical examples are finally presented to illustrate the effectiveness and correctness of the theoretical results.en© 2014 TheFranklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
