Passification based synchronization of nonlinear systems under communication constraints and bounded disturbances

In brief the synchronization problem for nonlinear systems under communication constraints and bounded exogenous disturbances is analyzed. The main contribution is in the evaluation of the synchronization error as a function of transmission rate and the upper bounds of the disturbances. Relevance of passifiability condition for controlled synchronization of master-slave nonlinear systems for first order coder/decoder pair is demonstrated. Experimental results obtained at three-computer setup, illustrating the theory are presented.
