Research Profile

In practical engineering, economic, biological area, the systems are always with large scales and composed of many subsystems with interconnections. Generally, small systems can form complex large-scale systems. In recent years, we have focused on the analysis and control of complex coupled systems. The interesting results show that sometimes some subsystems must be unstable to stabilize the whole coupled system, which is very useful for the coupled control of modern hypersonic aircrafts. Similarly to the modern economic systems, the highly developed economy is always along with the bankruptcy of small enterprises. This shows the complexity of coupled systems. In complex network systems, the redundant connections for synchronization behavior have been found with the help of algebraic graph theory. The intermittent synchronization behavior is shown through the existence of disconnected synchronized regions. A unified framework for complex network synchronization and multi-agent consensus is established. The multiple inputs in over-actuated systems are found useful for reducing the system performance indexes.
