文摘The property of dichotomy of interconnected second-order pendulum-like systems with multiple equilibria is investigated. This interconnection can be viewed as harmonic control of independent sub-systems. Linear interconnections and a class of input and output interconnections are considered in this paper. The effects of input and output interconnections are shown through a permutation matrix. Frequency domain and linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions of dichotomy of interconnected pendulum-like systems are derived. It is shown that global properties of two coupled systems can be changed significantly through interconnections. Examples are given to illustrate the results.
