A memory state-feedback controller via random pocket dropouts for multi-agent systems with external disturbance

Abstract

This study explores the challenge of achieving consensus in multi-agent systems (MASs) when facing the random packet dropouts and disturbances. It employs memory state-feedback control (MSFC) in the context of undirected graphs and specified leader agents. The analysis focuses on mean square consensus, considering MASs within strongly connected networks or networks with undirected spanning trees. The MSFC approach is developed to ensure asymptotic consensus despite packet dropouts and also to reduce the impact of disturbances. Specifically, the consensus analysis leverages the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) framework, and the necessary conditions for implementing the proposed MSFC are established using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The system, augmented with an H ∞ attenuation level is guaranteed to achieve asymptotic mean-square stability according to the provided criteria. In conclusion, two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed control mechanism.

Robust impulse nonlinear delayed multi-agent systems: an exponential synchronization

“…The authors in [36] have investigated fuzzy theory adaptive finite-time consensus of high-order multi-agent under the dead zone. Synchronization analysis of MASs with stochastic packet losses and external perturbations via a memory state-feedback controller have been discussed in [33]. In addition, the authors derived in [32] the quasi-synchronization of heterogeneous dynamical networks under event-triggered impulsive controls.…”
