Abstract

This paper considers the synchronisation problem of singular hybrid networks with coupled delay. Singular systems, which can not be directly studied by using Lyapunov method, are more difficult to handle than nonsingular systems. Synchronisation phenomenon is still a challenging task for singular systems with delays, although there have been some results. The singular system studied in this paper is assumed to be regular and impulsive free. A sufficient condition for global synchronisation of singular systems with delays is derived by using Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) approach. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained conditions.
