Abstract :
The problem of output synchronization in a network of interconnected, heterogeneous linear systems is considered. The task is to find local controllers that guarantee synchronization using relative information only. Based on the Internal Model Principle for Synchronization, sufficient conditions are presented that lead to a constructive method for designing local dynamic controllers, which achieve this goal. Both time-invariant and time-varying networks are considered.
