Synchronization in arrays of coupled continuous-time linear systems is studied. Sufficiency of certain conditions for the existence of a synchronizing feedback law are analyzed. It is shown that, for neutrally stable systems that are detectable from their outputs, a linear feedback law exists under which any number of coupled systems synchronize provided that the (directed, weighted) graph describing the interconnection is fixed and connected. An algorithm generating one such feedback law as well as the trajectory that the solutions converge to are presented. It is also shown that, for critically unstable systems, delectability is not sufficient, whereas full-state coupling is, for the existence of a linear feedback law that is synchronizing for all coupling configurations described by a connected graph.

Sufficient Conditions on Observability Grammian for Synchronization in Arrays of Coupled Linear Time-Varying Systems Tuna, Sezai Emre (2010-11-01) Synchronizability of stable, output-coupled, identical, linear time-varying systems is studied. It is shown that if the observability grammian satisfies a persistence of excitation condition, then there exists a bounded, linear time-varying feedback law that yields exponential synchronization for all fixed, asymmetrical interconnections with connected graphs. Also, a weaker condition on the grammian is given for asymptotic synchronization. No assumption is made on the strength of coupling between the systems.
Synchronizing linear systems via partial-state coupling Tuna, Sezai Emre (2008-08-01) A basic result in the synchronization of linear systems via output coupling is presented. For identical discrete-time linear systems that are detectable from their Outputs and neutrally stable, it is shown that a linear Output feedback law exists under which the Coupled systems globally asymptotically synchronize for all fixed connected (asymmetrical) network topologies. An algorithm is provided to Compute Such a feedback law based on individual system parameters.
Efficient Abstractions for the Supervisory Control of Modular Discrete Event Systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-12-01) The topic of this technical note is the nonblocking and maximally permissive abstraction-based supervisory control for modular discrete event systems (DES). It is shown, that an efficient abstraction technique, that was developed for the nonconflict verification of modular DES, is also suitable for the nonblocking supervisory control. Moreover, it is proved that this abstraction technique can be extended by the condition of local control consistency, in order to achieve maximally permissive supervision. Dif...
On maximal permissiveness of hierarchical and modular supervisory control approaches for discrete event systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2008-08-26) Recently, several efficient modular and hierarchical approaches for the control of discrete event systems (DES) have been proposed. Although these methods are very suitable for dealing with the state space explosion problem, their common limitation is that either maximal permissiveness is not addressed or unnecessarily restrictive conditions are required in order to ensure maximally permissive control. In this paper we develop a unified framework for the investigation of maximal permissiveness of modular co...
Improved state estimation for jump Markov linear systems Orguner, Umut; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis presents a comprehensive example framework on how current multiple model state estimation algorithms for jump Markov linear systems can be improved. The possible improvements are categorized as: -Design of multiple model state estimation algorithms using new criteria. -Improvements obtained using existing multiple model state estimation algorithms. In the first category, risk-sensitive estimation is proposed for jump Markov linear systems. Two types of cost functions namely, the instantaneous an...
