Abstract

LSNSs include a group of interconnected nodes and have attracted increasing attention from researchers due to its widespread applications in sensor networks, surveillance systems, intelligent transportation management systems, etc. The nodes in LSNSs exchange information through a communication graph, which is a time-varying graph or a time-invariant graph. Based on the communication topology, nodes in LSNSs are coupled, which give rise to a variety of collective complexities in the overall dynamical properties of LSNSs.
