“…The main feature of this paper is that both general high-order dynamics and weight-unbalanced directed graphs can be handled via our proposed controllers. On one hand, different from existing works that require the agent dynamics to be integrator-type [14], [18] or high-order but minimum phase systems [22]- [24], the general dynamics considered in this work are allowed to be non-minimum phase. On the other hand, in contrary to most existing works where undirected graphs [7], [13] or balanced directed graphs [14], [15] are considered, the proposed controller ( 6) is able to tackle weight-unbalanced directed graphs without a prior knowledge of the left eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue zero of the Laplacian matrix L. It is worth noting that the left eigenvector is a kind of global information, which is required in [17], but may be unavailable in practical applications.…”
