Edge Event-Triggered Synchronization in Networks of Coupled Harmonic Oscillators
Bo Wei, Feng Xiao, Ming‐Zhe Dai · IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics · 2016
The synchronization problems of networks of coupled harmonic oscillators are addressed by the edge event-triggered approach in this paper. The network dynamics with respect to edge states are presented and a new edge event-triggered control protocol is designed. Combined with the periodic event-detecting and edge event-triggered approach, sufficient conditions that guarantee the synchronization of coupled harmonic oscillators are presented. Two event-detecting rules are given to achieve the synchronization of coupled harmonic oscillators with low resource consumption. Finally, simulations are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the edge event-triggered control algorithm.
