Abstract
The present paper proposes an adaptive control law for inducing in-phase and antiphase synchronization in a pair of relaxation oscillators. We analytically show that the phase dynamics of the oscillators coupled by the control law is equivalent to that of Kuramoto phase oscillators and then extend the results for a pair of oscillators to three or more oscillators. We also provide a systematic procedure for designing the controller parameters for oscillator networks with all-to-all and ring topologies. Our numerical simulations demonstrate that these analytical results can be used to solve a dispatching problem encountered by automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in factories. AGV congestion can be avoided and the peak value of the amount of materials or parts in buffers can be suppressed.
