Abstract:
In this paper, we concentrate on the synchronization problem of fractional-order complex networks with general linear dynamics under connected topology. By introducing a pseudo-state transformation, the problem is converted into an equivalent simultaneous stabilization problem of independent subsystems, which is characterized by nonzero eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix. Then, sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for synchronization are established, which can be easily solved by efficient convex optimization algorithms. Finally, three examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
