Abstract

The problem of synchronization (consensus) in nonlinearly coupled network is addressed. The agents of the network are assumed to identical and linear, however, they may have arbitrary order and be unstable. The interaction topology may switch and the couplings are uncertain, assumed only to satisfy conventional quadratic constraints. We offer easily verifiable synchronization criteria, based on the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma and extending a number of known result for agents with special dynamics. Those criteria are close in spirit to the celebrated circle criterion for the stability of Lurie systems.
