Controlled synchronization under information constraints

Abstract

A class of controlled synchronization systems under information constraints imposed by limited information capacity of the coupling channel is analyzed. It is shown that the framework proposed by Fradkov, [Phys. Rev. E 73, 066209 (2006)] is suitable not only for observer-based synchronization but also for controlled master-slave synchronization via a communication channel with limited information capacity. A simple first-order coder-decoder scheme is proposed and a theoretical analysis for multidimensional master-slave systems represented in the Lurie form (linear part plus nonlinearity depending only on measurable outputs) is provided. An output feedback control law is proposed based on the..
