Distributed Synchronisation of Heterogeneous Dynamical Networks With Nonlinear Diffusive Couplings
It provides a distributed method for synchronisation in heterogeneous networks with nonlinear couplings, which is relevant for control systems but represents an incremental extension of existing dissipativity-based approaches.
This letter establishes distributed conditions for output synchronisation in heterogeneous dynamical networks with nonlinear diffusive couplings and disturbances, using only local information. The approach is illustrated on a network of Goodwin oscillators.
This letter investigates the problem of output synchronisation in heterogeneous dynamical networks with nonlinear diffusive couplings in the presence of disturbances on the coupling links. By exploiting relative dissipativity properties between adjacent agents, distributed conditions are established to guarantee output synchronisation. Specifically, these conditions can be verified using only local information associated with neighbouring agents and coupling links. As an illustration, a heterogeneous network of Goodwin oscillators is considered, where the relative dissipativity properties between neighbouring oscillators are characterised and used to analyse synchronisation.
