Cooperative output feedback adaptive control of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems with a dynamic leader

Cooperative tracking for nonlinear multi-agent systems with hybrid time-delayed protocol

“…Meanwhile, it is often requested the output of each subsystem be synchronized. So, future work will be centralized in cooperative output tracking [43] and output containment control [42] and applications to the frequency tracking of multiple generating units (stated in Remark 1) and distributed containment control for multiple load aggregators (stated in Remark 5). Tasawar Hayat did his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan, in 1999.…”

Region aggregation analysis for multi-agent networks with multi-equilibria in multi-dimensional coordinate systems via switching strategies

“…All the agents in MASs show the following interesting common characteristics: autonomy, social ability, reactivity, and pro-activity. So many researchers try to find the innate mechanisms of MASs from many different viewpoints, such as security issues, system analysis and synthesis, system engineering, and then obtain a great amount of results for MASs in the literature, see for example [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and references therein.…”

“…From the viewpoint of control theory and engineering, many system analysis and synthesis results are obtained for MASs, such as controllability and observability [19,20], consensus [10,16,18,19,22], tracking control [14], formation control design [25], and other relevant issues' results in [5,14,17,21,28,29]. Among them are plenty of results for different kinds of consensus issues of MASs, such as group consensus [28], finite-time consensus [18], consensus controllability and observability [19], consensus of MASs on time scales [22], and consensus of fractional-order heterogeneous MASs [29].…”

Especially, leader-following consensus of MASs is a particularly interesting topic investigated by many researchers in [10,16,20,21,29]. According to the classifications introduced in [12], consensus issue is a special kind of formation control of MASs.…”

Adaptive neural tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems

“…On the other hand, it has been shown in [9,10,11,12,13] that the adaptive backstepping technique is a powerful tool which has been widely used to solve some complex optimization problems and applied in the fields of industry and engineering. Recently, many adaptive backstepping-based control methods have been used in switched nonlinear systems, e.g., [14,15,16,17,18] and the references therein.…”
