Abstract:
In this paper, we study the robustness of an event-triggered synchronization dynamics for a network of identical nodes under various switching scenarios. We first consider an arbitrary switching scenario where, for a general class of isolated node dynamics we characterize sufficient conditions in terms of network topologies to maintain synchronization. In particular, we demonstrate that for a specific class of skew-symmetric isolated node dynamics---which play important role in this class of synchronization problems---the asymptotic synchronization is not achievable under arbitrary switching. We then consider two classes of constrained switching signals, namely uniform and average switching classes, and we characterize sufficient conditions in terms of the associated parameters, in order to ensure asymptotic synchronization. We wrap up the discussion by presenting relevant simulation studies.
