Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of exponential synchronization of switched genetic oscillators with time-
varying delays. Switching parameters and three types of nonidentical time-varying delays, that is, the self-delay, the
intercellular coupling delay, and the regulatory delay are taken into consideration in genetic oscillators. By utilizing
the Kronecker product techniques and ‘delay-partition’ approach, a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii func tional is
proposed. Then, based on the average dwell time approach, Jensen's integral inequality, and free-weighting matrix
method, delay-dependent sufficient conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). These
conditions guarantee the exponential synchronization of switched genetic oscillators with time-varying delays
whose upper bounds of derivatives are known and unknown, respectively. A numerical example is presented to
demonstrate the effectiveness of our results.

1. Introduction
Over the past decades, genetic networks have received considerable attention due to their wide
application in biological and biomedical sciences. Modeling genetic networks as dynamic
systems have p rovided a powerful tool for elucidati ng genetic regulation process in living
organisms. The existing genetic network models include Boolean models [1], different ial
equation model s [2,3], Petri net models [4], and discrete-time piecewise affine model [5,6].
Among them, differential equation models are the most popular ones in which the state variables
usually denote the concentrations of proteins, messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) and
other small molecules, and the regulatory functions are usually in Michaelis–Menten or Hill form
[7–13].
The oscillatory behavior of genetic networks is a fundamental challenge in the research field of
systems biology. There are two typical examples of genetic oscillators, that is, the cell cycle
oscillators [14] and circadian clocks [15]. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of
oscillations and their collective behaviors is important for clarifying the dynamics of cellular life
and for diagnosing and treating diseases. Synchronization, as a type of typical collective behavior
and a basic motion in nature, can be used to explain many natural phenomena [16–18]. Study on
synchronization of coupled genetic oscillators has important biological implications and potential
engineering applications [19,20]. For example, it is essential for the understanding of the
rhythmic phenomena and the inherent mecha nisms of living organisms at both molecular and
cellular levels [16,19,20]. Moreover, the synchronization criteria of genetic oscillators can
provide biologists with the opportunity to test mathematical models for the dynamics of gene
regulation. In addition, the mechanism of synchronization is helpful for medical diagnosis and
treatment and for the creation of synthetic gene circuits.
So far, the synchronization problem of genetic oscillators has been intensively investigated
during the past few years [19–23].In[19], several sufficient conditions for synchronization of
coupled nonidentical genetic oscillators have been presented. Moreover, the estimation of the
bound of the synchronization error has been given simultaneously. In [20], based on the Lur'e
system approach, an easy-verified sufficient condition for the stochastic synchronization of
genetic oscillators with random noise perturbations has been established. In [21], synchronization
of cellular clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) has been experimentally investigated and
fruitful findings which indicate the vital factors affecting this synchronization have been
reported. For example, it has been pointed out that Na
þ
-dependent action potentials contribute to
establishing cellular synchrony and maintaining spontaneous oscillation across the SCN. In [22],
the effect of coupling on synchronization through intercellular signaling in a population of
Escherichia coli cells has been analyzed. The authors have given many results which establish
not only a theoretical foundation but also a quantitative basis for understanding the essential
cooperative dynamics in a population of cells. For example, they have shown that an appropriate
design of the coupling and the inner-linking matrix can ensure global synchronization of the
coupled synthetic biological system. In [23], robust synchronization control of synthetic genetic
oscillators under intr insic and extrinsic molecular noises has been studied.
Notice that time delay has not been taking into account in the above genetic oscillators. In fact,
due to the slow processes of transcription, translation, and translocation or the finite switching
speed of amplifiers, time delays inherently exist in genetic networks. Therefore, incorporation of
time delays is necessary when studying the synchronization problem of genetic oscillators.
In [24], Qiu and Cao have studied the global exponential synchronization problem of delay-
coupled identical genetic oscillators with time delays. In [25], genetic oscillators with delayed

intercellular coupling have been studied by noticing that a signal transmitted from one cell to
neighboring cells shall take a period of time. In [26], synchronization of a class of genetic
oscillators with Markovian jumping parameters, time delays, and stochastic fluctuation has been
studied. Zhang et al. [27] have further investigated the synchronization problem for Markovian
jump genetic oscillators with partially known transition rates and nonidentical feedback delay.
As pointed out in [9], the hybrid system involving some kind of switching is natural and
promising in mathematically modeling the complex gene regulations. For Markovian switching
genetic networks, fruitful results can be found in the literature (see, e.g., [9,10,26,27]). In [11],
the stability problem of switched genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with time-var ying delays
has also been investigated. In [12], Zhang et al. have further studied the exponential stability of
stochastic delayed switched GRNs with both stable and unstable subsystems. However, till now,
little attention has been paid on the analysis of exponential synchronization of switched genetic
oscillators. Furthermore, when studying the synchronization problem of delayed genetic
oscillators, constant delay has been studied in almost all of the existing literature (e.g. [24–27]),
while time-varying delay has seldom been discussed. In addition, in coupled genetic oscillators,
three types of delays, that is, the self-delay, the intercellular coupling delay, and the regulatory
delay, may be nonidentical. Although synchronization of genetic oscillators with nonidentical
intercellular coupling delay and self-delay has been investigated in [27], synchronization for
genetic oscillators with the above three types of nonidentical delays has not been discussed yet,
possibly due to its mathematical complexity.
Motivated by the above discussions, in this paper, we are concerned with the exponential
synchronization of switch ed genetic oscillators with three types of nonidentical time-varying
delays. By utilizing the Kronecker product techniques and ‘delay-partition’ approach, a new
Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is proposed. Then, based on the average dwell time approach,
Jensen's integral inequality, and free-weighting matrix method, d elay-dependent sufficient
conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the exponential
synchronization of genetic oscillators with known and unknown upper bounds of derivatives of
time delays, respectively. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of
our results.
The main contributions of this paper include: (1) A class of switched genetic oscillators with
unavailable transition rates is proposed. Although it is well known that switching is natural and
promising for modeling the complex gene regulations, little attention has been paid to the
switched genetic oscillators. (2) Time-varying delays are assumed to be included in the proposed
switched geneti c oscillators. As we know, for the synchronization problem of delayed genetic
oscillators, constant delay has been widely studied in the existing literature, but time-varying
delay has seldom been discussed. (3) Three types of nonidentical time-varying delays in genetic
oscillators, that is, the self -delay, the intercellular coupling delay, and the regulatory delay, are
distinguished and carefully investigated. (4) New techniques including average dwell time
approach, ‘delay-partition’ approach, Jensen's integral inequality, and free-weighting matrix
method are employed to establish the main results.
