This book provides recent advances in analysis and synthesis of Large-scale network systems
(LSNSs) with sampled-data communication and non-identical nodes. In its first chapter of the
book presents an introduction to Synchronization of LSNSs and Algebraic Graph Theory as well as
an overview of recent developments of LSNSs with sampled data control or output regulation
control. The main text of the book is organized into two main parts - Part I: LSNSs with
sampled-data communication and Part II: LSNSs with non-identical nodes. This monograph provides
up-to-date advances and some recent developments in the analysis and synthesis issues for LSNSs
with sampled-data communication and non-identical nodes. It describes the constructions of the
adaptive reference generators in the first stage and the robust regulators in the second stage.
Examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed design techniques.
