It has been shown that synchronization between two nonlinear systems
can be studied as a control theory problem. We show in this letter
that this relation can be extended to synchronization in coupled
arrays of nonlinear systems. In particular, we extend several
stability conditions to synchronization criteria in arrays: the
passivity criterion, the circle criterion and a result on observer
design of Lipschitz nonlinear systems.
