An Adaptive Algorithm for Synchronization in Diffusively Coupled Systems
Abstract
We present an adaptive algorithm that guarantees synchronization in diffusively coupled systems. We first consider compartmental systems of ODEs, where each compartment represents a spatial domain of components interconnected through diffusion terms with like components in different compartments. Each set of like components may have its own weighted undirected graph describing the topology of the interconnection between compartments. The link weights are updated adaptively according to the magnitude of the difference between neighboring agents connected by the link. We next consider reaction-diffusion PDEs with Neumann boundary conditions, and derive an analogous algorithm guaranteeing spatial homogenization of solutions. We provide a numerical example demonstrating the results.
