Synchronization Of Systems With Time-delayed Coupling
by Erik Steur, Toshiki Oguchi, and Henk Nijmeijer
Published 28 February 2023
The book aims to provide the tools for analyzing the synchronization of identical systems under time-delayed coupling. On the structural assumption that the system itself is semi-passive - i.e. the system is behaving as a passive system outside some ball-conditions ensuring synchronization of two systems under time-delayed coupling - the framework is extended to the more general situation of a network with time-delayed diffusive coupling. Conditions are derived for time-delay and coupling strength when the network exhibits synchronization or partial synchronization. The theory is illustrated by a number of simulation examples, providing also the experimental results on a network of electronic brain cells.

Synchronization of Mechanical Systems
by Henk Nijmeijer and Alejandro Rodriguez-Angeles
Published 1 October 2003
The main goal of this book is to prove analytically and validate experimentally that synchronization in multi-composed mechanical systems can be achieved in the case of partial knowledge of the state vector of the systems, i.e. when only positions are measured. For this purpose, synchronization schemes based on interconnections between the systems, feedback controllers and observers are proposed.Because mechanical systems include a large variety of systems, and since it is impossible to address all of them, the book focuses on robot manipulators. Nonetheless the ideas developed here can be extended to other mechanical systems, such as mobile robots, motors and generators.
