Abstract

In this paper global stabilisation of a complex network is attained by applying local decentralised output feedback control to a minimum number of nodes of the network. The stabilisation of the network is treated as a rank constrained problem. Strict positive realness conditions on the node level dynamics allow nonlinearities/uncertainties which satisfy the sector conditions to be considered. A network of Chua oscillators with 75 nodes is considered to demonstrate the efficacy of the approach.
