Output feedback robust synchronization of networked Lur'e Systems with incrementally passive nonlinearities

In this paper we deal with robust synchronization problems for uncertain dynamical networks of identical Lur’e systems diffusively interconnected by means of measurement outputs. In contrast to stabilization of one single Lur’e system with a passive static nonlinearity in the negative feedback loop, in the present paper the feedback nonlinearities are assumed to be incrementally passive. We assume that the interconnection topologies among these Lur’e agents are undirected and con- nected throughout this paper. A distributed dynamical protocol is proposed. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of such protocol that robustly synchronizes the Lur’e dynamical network. The protocol parameter matrices are computed in terms of the system matrices defining the individual agent, but also the second smallest and largest eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix associated with the interconnection topology

Global synchronization in Lur'e complex dynamical networks with delayed nodes and delayed coupling

This paper is concerned with the global synchronization in Lur'e complex dynamical networks. Compared with the existing complex dynamical networks with the time delay either in every node or in coupling part, this class of Lur'e complex dynamical networks not only have the time-delayed nodes, but also have the time-delayed coupling. These two classes of time delays are different from each other. By using LMI technique, synchronization criteria of this class of Lur'e complex dynamical networks are derived. These synchronization criteria are delay-dependent not only for the time delay in every node, but also for the time delay in the coupling part. A numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of synchronization results
