Robust H∞ Synchronization for Networked Re-Entrant Manufacturing Systems

This paper delves into the robust H
∞
synchronization for a type of networked re-entrant manufacturing systems (ReMSs). The dynamics of the considered networked ReMSs are described by nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations. Given the potential communication uncertainties and external disturbances in the production lines, a robust H
∞
synchronization criterion is derived for the networked ReMSs by utilizing an edge-dependent distributed adaptive strategy. A numerical simulation is utilized to validate the effectiveness of the developed adaptive scheme and the obtained criterion.
