Adaptive finite-time consensus in multi-agent networks

Smooth time-invariant control for leaderless consensus of networked nonholonomic systems

“…Different from the existing time-varying or discontinuous controllers in the literatures, [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] which addressed the leaderless consensus/formation control problem of nonholonomic systems, the distributed controller (equation (11) or (13)) is smooth, timeinvariant, and static. The achievement of this relies heavily on the Lyapunov function V 1 constructed in equation (4). Firstly, V 1 is dependent on L, which allows us to design the distributed controller (equation (11)).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] As a classical nonlinear system, nonholonomic system has received increasing interest of researchers. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Two consensus control problems have been taken into account for nonholonomic systems.…”

Output consensus of multi‐agent systems with delayed and sampled‐data

“…In the past decades, the related topics on consensus problems have been comprehensively further studied in different situations, for example, consensus in networks with time-delays [6,7,8], finite time consensus [9,10,11,12,13], consensus in stochastic networks [14,15], quantized consensus [16,17,18], and so on.…”

Finite-time synchronization of drive-response systems via periodically intermittent adaptive control

“…Many effective control methods including adaptive control [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], feedback control [15][16][17][18], observer control [19][20], pinning control [21][22][23], impulsive control [24][25][26][27][28] and intermittent control [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] have been proposed to drive the network to achieve synchronization. Among these control approaches, the discontinuous control methods which include impulsive control and intermittent control have attracted much interest due to its practical and easy implementation in engineering fields.…”
