Consensus of Nonlinear Homogeneous Systems
摘要
Extending the consensus framework to nonlinear homogeneous systems, this chapter introduces control techniques tailored for nonlinear networked dynamics. It discusses scenarios where direct feedback linearization is undesirable, emphasizing the need to retain nonlinear properties in certain applications such as nonlinear oscillators. The chapter analyzes a linear high-gain controller, demonstrating its effectiveness in handling specific forms of nonlinear networked systems despite its linear structure. It then introduces a nonlinear controller designed to address more general nonlinearities and system architectures. Additionally, fixed-time convergence strategies are explored to ensure rapid synchronization.
