We investigate consensus problem for third-order multiagent dynamical systems in directed graph. Necessary and sufficient conditions to consensus of third-order multiagent systems have been established under three different protocols. Compared with existing results, we focus on the relationship between the scaling strengths and the eigenvalues of the involved Laplacian matrix, which guarantees consensus of third-order multiagent systems. Finally, some simulation examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
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.
