| Summary: | This paper is devoted to the convergence problem for second-order signed networks that are associated with two signed graphs in the presence of heterogeneous topologies. An eigenvalue analysis approach is presented to develop convergence results for second-order signed networks, which employs a sign-consistency property for signed graph pairs. When the sign-consistency of two heterogeneous signed graphs and the connectivity of their union are given, bipartite consensus (respectively, state stability) can be derived for second-order signed networks if and only if the union signed graph is structurally balanced (respectively, unbalanced). Two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
