Quantized Control Design for Coupled Dynamic Networks with Communication Constraints

摘要

This paper is concerned with the quantized synchronization control problem of coupled dynamic networks (CDNs) with communication constraints. The networked-induced delay, data packet dropouts, and signal quantization effects are simultaneously considered in the synchronization controller design. A new closed-loop coupled dynamic system is constructed, where both the interval time-varying delays and quantized parameters are taken into account. By using Kronecker product technique and the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional approach, a stability criterion is obtained for the closed-loop CDNs, which also guarantees that the CDNs are synchronized. Then, both the networked controller and the quantized parameters can be designed. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
