The problem under consideration is the synthesis of a distributed controller\nfor a nonlinear network composed of input affine systems. The objective is to\nachieve exponential convergence of the solutions. To design such a feedback\nlaw, methods based on contraction theory are employed to render the\ncontroller-synthesis problem scalable and suitable to use distributed\noptimization. The nature of the proposed approach is constructive, because the\ncomputation of the desired feedback law is obtained by solving a convex\noptimization problem. An example illustrates the proposed methodology.\n
