This paper considers the consensus of the leaderfollowing systems with a discrete-time model. The velocity of the active leader is unknown in real time. This paper designs the control laws and observers based on the neighbors to solve the consensus problem. The Lyapunov approach has played an important role in the leader-following systems. It is shown that all agents asymptotically move with the same velocity and position. Moreover, it is also proved that each follower can track the active leader in a noisy-free environment, and the tracking error is estimated in a noisy environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
