Rules And Limitations Of Building Delay-Tolerant Topologies For Coupled Systems, Rifat Sipahi, Wei Qiao

This paper investigates the equilibrium behavior of broadly studied synchronization dynamics of coupled systems, among which shared information is delayed. The underlying relationship is established between graph structures and the largest amount of delay the dynamics can withstand without losing stability. In particular, based on Cartesian product of graphs, we present the rules and limitations for synthesizing the graphs of large-scale systems that can remain stable for as large delays as possible. Examples are provided to demonstrate the results.

Today, many high-tech applications such as simultaneous metal machining, neural networks, internet data congestion, population dynamics, chemical processes, formation flight problems, etc., appear in the form of multiple time delay systems (MTDS ). Due to the presence of delays, the stability of the dynamics is under question and needs to be addressed. In the last four decades, the stability analysis of the general class, Linear Time Invariant MTDS (LTI-MTDS), has been one of the challenging problems of the systems and control community, which originates from the complex stability analysis due to their infinite dimensionality. For tackling this, a unique procedure …
