摘要：

This article presents a new methodology to synchronize networks of non-identical linear time-invariant agents based on the notion of output coupling. The design is based on the idea to asymptotically homogenize the dynamics of the agents with respect to the network. This allows to reduce the synchronization problem to known methods from the literature dealing with linear homogeneous multi-agent systems. We emphasize the fact that the synchronizing controllers are only driven by relative output information and thus the communication load for the network is minimized. The results are illustrated by a numerical example.
