Non-delayed synchronization of non-autonomous dynamical systems on Riemannian manifolds and its applications

The present paper aims at tackling the non-delayed synchronization of two first-order, nonautonomous dynamical systems whose state spaces are (curved) Riemannian manifolds. The present research endeavor borrows notions from system theory, differential geometry, control theory and numerical calculus to design a general synchronization theory and a set of numerical methods to implement the devised synchronization theory on a computing platform. The features of these synchronization algorithms are illustrated by means of five sets of numerical experiments including the synchronization of the attitude of a fleet of flying bodies and the secure transmission of a message by the modulation of a system-generated carrier
