This paper presents two theorems for designing controllers to achieve directional partial generalized synchronization (PGS) of two independent (chaotic) differential equation systems or two independent (chaotic) discrete systems. Two numerical simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theorems. It can be expected that these theorems provide new tools for understanding and studying PGS phenomena and information encryption.

In this paper, we study lag synchronization between two dynamical networks with non-derivative and derivative couplings via pinning control. We design two types of pinning control schemes, including linear and adaptive feedback controllers. With the corresponding control algorithms, we obtain two theorems on the lag synchronization based on Schur complement and Barbalat's lemma. In addition, we obtain the domain for the linear feedback gains. Finally, we provide two numerical examples to show the...
