Abstract

This paper proposes a model order reduction scheme that reduces the complexity of diffusively coupled homogeneous Lur'e systems. We aim to reduce the dimension of each subsystem and meanwhile preserve the synchronization property of the overall network. Using the Laplacian spectral radius, we characterize the robust synchronization of the Lur'e network by a linear matrix inequality (LMI), whose solutions then are treated as generalized Gramians for the balanced truncation of the linear component of each Lur'e subsystem. It is verified that, with the same communication topology, the resulting reduced-order network system is still robustly synchronized, and an a priori bound on the approximation error is guaranteed to compare the behaviors of the full-order and reduced-order Lur'e subsystems.
