Synchronization of linear oscillators coupled through a dynamic network with interior nodes

2020-07-01
Synchronization is studied in an array of identical linear oscillators of arbitrary order, coupled through a dynamic network comprising dissipative connectors (e.g., dampers) and restorative connectors (e.g., springs). The coupling network is allowed to contain interior nodes, i.e., those that are not directly connected to an oscillator. It is shown that the oscillators asymptotically synchronize if and only if the Schur complement (with respect to the boundary nodes) of the complex-valued Laplacian matrix representing the coupling has a single eigenvalue on the imaginary axis.

Synchronization under matrix-weighted Laplacian
Tuna, Sezai Emre (Elsevier BV, 2016-11-01)
Synchronization in a group of linear time-invariant systems is studied where the coupling between each pair of systems is characterized by a different output matrix. Simple methods are proposed to generate a (separate) linear coupling gain for each pair of systems, which ensures that all the solutions converge to a common trajectory.
Synchronization of linear systems via relative actuation
Tuna, Sezai Emre (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-01)
Synchronization in networks of discrete-time linear time-invariant systems is considered under relative actuation. Neither input nor output matrices are assumed to be commensurable. A distributed algorithm that ensures synchronization via dynamic relative output feedback is presented.
Synchronization of small oscillations
Tuna, Sezai Emre (Elsevier BV, 2019-09-01)
Synchronization is studied in an array of identical oscillators undergoing small vibrations. The overall coupling is described by a pair of matrix-weighted Laplacian matrices; one representing the dissipative, the other the restorative connectors. A construction is proposed to combine these two real matrices in a single complex matrix. It is shown that whether the oscillators synchronize in the steady state or not depend on the number of eigenvalues of this complex matrix on the imaginary axis. Certain refi...
Growth rate of switched homogeneous systems
Tuna, Sezai Emre (Elsevier BV, 2008-11-01)
We consider discrete-time homogeneous systems under arbitrary switching and study their growth rate, the analogue of joint spectral radius for switched linear systems. We show that a system is asymptotically stable if and only if its growth rate is less than unity. We also provide an approximation algorithm to compute growth rate with arbitrary accuracy.
Triple stub circuit topology as simultaneous insertion phase, amplitude and impedance control circuit for phased array applications
Unlu, M.; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012-10-23)
This study shows that the well-known triple stub circuit topology can also be used for controlling the insertion phase and amplitude of a given signal simultaneously, as well as preserving its impedance transformation ability. The triple stub circuit topology, which is nothing but an extension of the conventional double stub loaded-line phase shifter, results in one more degree of freedom to its solution when it is solved for its insertion phase. This additional degree of freedom not only brings the impedan...
