Abstract:
This paper investigates the fixed-time synchronization problem of a Kuramoto-oscillator network in the presence of a pacemaker. Based on the framework of the cyber-physical system (CPS), fixed-time synchronization criteria of such network are presented respectively for identical and non-identical oscillators. In virtue of Lyapunov stability analyses, sufficient conditions are deduced for achieving phase agreement and frequency synchronization for arbitrary initial phases and/or frequencies under distributed control strategies. Theoretical analysis shows that synchronization can be achieved in a fixed time, which is unrelated to initial phases/frequencies. Furthermore, the upper bounds of synchronization time are also obtained. Finally, the numerical simulations also verify the effectiveness of the derived results.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
