Abstract

This review synthesizes the state of the art in multiple switching synchronization for chaotic and complex dynamical systems. We formalize the concept, contrast it with single switching and continuous coupling, and survey stability tools including common and multiple Lyapunov functions, average dwell-time, and sliding/adaptive control under switching. Variants such as complete, lag, generalized, projective, intermittent, and fractional-order multiple switching synchronization are compared. We summarize applications in secure communications, power and energy systems, neural dynamics, robotics and multi-agent systems, and outline open problems regarding robustness, implementation, and data-driven switching policies. The article aims to provide a self-contained reference for researchers and practitioners.
