The state variables are re- stricted in a subregion in order to obtain easily verified criteria. The validity of these algebraic criteria is illustrated with some numerical examples. A new concept, synchro- nization cost, is introduced based on a measure of the magnitude of the feedback control. The minimal synchronization cost as well as optimal coupling strength is calculated nu- merically. The results are meaningful in engineering application. Copyright © 2007 Jianping Cai et al.

Introduction Horizontal platform devices are widely used in offshore engineering and earthquake en- gineering. Mechanical model for a horizontal platform system with an accelerometer is depicted in Figure 1.1. The platform can freely rotate about the horizontal axis, which penetrates its mass center. When the platform deviates from horizon, the accelerometer will give an output signal to the torque generator, which generates a torque to inverse the rotation of the platform about rotational axis. The equation governing this system is ¨ ˙ 3g
