Decentralized stabilizability of multi-agent systems under fixed and switching topologies

Containment control of switched multi-agent systems

“…To date, many research topics about multi-agent systems have arisen, to name but a few, consensus problem (Guan, Ji, Zhang, & Wang, 2013Olfati-Saber & Murray, 2004;Ren & Beard, 2005;Xiao & Wang, 2008;Zheng, Zhu, & Wang, 2011), controllability analysis (Ji, Lin, & Yu, 2012;Liu, Xie, et al, 2012, optimal control (Hengster-Movric & Lewis, 2014; Ma, Zheng, Wu, & Wang, 2014), rendezvous control (Xiao, Wang, & Chen, 2012).…”

Leader–follower guaranteed-cost consensualization for high-order linear swarm systems with switching topologies

“…However, each agent in high-order swarm systems is usually modeled as a general high-order linear model, which does not has a special structure feature, so their consensus problems are more complex. Consensus analysis and/or design problems for high-order linear swarm systems were investigated in [29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Consensus transformation for multi-agent systems with topology variances and time-varying delays

“…Cheng et al [17] considered the impacts of communication noises on consensus. High-order LTI multi-agent systems with switching topologies were investigated in [18], where the impacts of time delays on consensus were not considered. In the aforementioned literature, all state information is required to construct consensus protocols.…”

“…Most works in the literature (e. g., [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]) mainly dealt with specific LTI multi-agent systems and gave consensus criteria, but their approaches cannot directly used to investigate generic multi-agent systems with both topology variances and time-varying delays.…”
