Distributed consensus of multi-agent systems over general directed networks with limited bandwidth communication

Encryption–decryption‐based event‐triggered consensus control for nonlinear MASs under DoS attacks

“…Theorem 1. For MASs (1) satisfying Assumptions 1-3, under the proposed control law ( 16)- (18), the agents can achieve the desired consensus guaranteeing that the tracking error e i (k) is bounded, if the following inequality is true:…”

“…As a consequence, much effort has been devoted to investigating distributed control for MASs 14‐16 . For instance, there have been plenty of research fruits available in the literature regarding distributed control for MASs with linear dynamics 17‐20 . However, these results are no longer applicable when the characteristics of the controlled systems show high‐order, nonlinear and complex behaviors.…”

“…[14][15][16] For instance, there have been plenty of research fruits available in the literature regarding distributed control for MASs with linear dynamics. [17][18][19][20] However, these results are no longer applicable when the characteristics of the controlled systems show high-order, nonlinear and complex behaviors. On the other hand, MASs are usually working in a harsh sometime even hostile environments, and in such cases, various uncertain disturbances also bring substantial difficulties in system analysis and design.…”

Distributed hierarchical consensus algorithm for economic dispatch in smart grid

“…In distributed control schemes, the control centre is not necessary, which can be used to deal with the consensus problems of multi‐agent systems or network topology systems. In [9–11], the first‐order, second‐order and higher‐order multi‐agent systems were presented to solve the problems of limited bandwidth communication, noise interference, and finite‐time consensus based on distributed consensus strategies, respectively. In [12], the multi‐agent system was involved in disposing the distributed convex optimisation problem by using the constrained consensus algorithm.…”
