Distributed Output Regulation of Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems via Host Internal Model

Consensus control of nonlinear leader–follower multi-agent systems with actuating disturbances

“…It leads to a general timevarying agreement. A relevant study can be found in [27] for a disturbance-free network, where a solution with G c containing a single host agent (see Section 3.1 for the definition) has been addressed. In the rest of this section, we list some basic assumptions as those in [19,27].…”

“…Indeed, the above condition has been used in [17] for a multi-agent systems control problem and the 2nd order FHN systems are exactly of this case, see [28,27]. Also note that as direct consequences of Assumption 2, by solving the associated REs of agents (1) and (2), it gives…”

“…1 with ȷ = 2. In the latter case, our configuration reduces to the case of a host internal model approach discussed in [27] in the absence of local disturbances. As a result, our configuration of internal model network indicates a notable design freedom and the choice of the internal model network is generally not unique if there is no particular physical requirement.…”

“…In this situation, focusing on the internal model network and in comparison with the single-host internal model studied in [27], the proposed networked design is extended in two directions. First, the network candidates are carefully presented in the consensus design.…”

Semi-global leader-following consensus of nonlinear multi-agent systems with actuating disturbances

“…In the paper, we shall study the leader-following consensus in the presence of non-trivial actuating disturbance based on a host internal model approach developed in [15]. Compared with existing results, the main contribution is summarized as follows.…”
