Power-rate synchronization of coupled genetic oscillators with unbounded time-varying delay.

In this paper, a new synchronization problem for the collective dynamics among genetic oscillators with unbounded time-varying delay is investigated. The dynamical system under consideration consists of an array of linearly coupled identical genetic oscillators with each oscillators having unbounded time-delays. A new concept called power-rate synchronization, which is different from both the asymptotical synchronization and the exponential synchronization, is put forward to facilitate handling the unbounded time-varying delays.

Exponential stability of discrete-time genetic regulatory networks with delays.

Discrete-time versions of the continuous-time genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with SUM regulatory functions are formulated and studied in this letter. Sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global exponential stability of the discrete-time GRNs with delays. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
