Synchronization of interconnected systems with an input-output approach. Part II: State-space result and application to biochemical networks

In this paper we apply the framework proposed in the companion paper [1] to derive synchronization conditions for a class of interconnected state-space models. The application to the analysis of synchronization in biochemical networks is discussed and the specific example of synchronization in Goodwin oscillators is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
