Abstract

We study synchronization properties of networks of coupled dynamical systems with interaction akin to diffusion. We assume that the isolated node dynamics possesses a forward invariant set on which it has a bounded Jacobian, then we characterize a class of coupling functions that allows for uniformly stable synchronization in connected complex networks—in the sense that there is an open neighbourhood of the initial conditions that is uniformly attracted towards synchronization. Moreover, this stable synchronization persists under perturbations to non-identical node dynamics. We illustrate the theory with numerical examples and conclude with a discussion on embedding these results in a more general framework of spectral dichotomies.
