Global bounded consensus of general nonidentical networks with distributed time-delays

In this paper, global bounded consensus problem of general nonidentical networks with nonlinear dynamics and distributed time-delays is investigated, in which the distributed time-delays are distinct from each other. The global consensus exists in the sense of boundedness since complete consensus does not often exist in the nonidentical case. With the aid of constructing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and utilizing the technique of integral partitioning, some sufficient delay-dependent conditions are derived to ensure that global bounded consensus is achieved ultimately. Finally, effectiveness of the theoretical result is illustrated by a numerical example.
