Event‐based impulsive consensus for delayed multi‐agent systems

Abstract

This paper focuses on the average consensus problem for delayed nonlinear multi‐agent systems. To reduce unnecessary energy consumption, a novel event‐triggered impulsive control mechanism is adopted, in which the impulsive time series is determined by some pre‐designed events. Simultaneously, the Zeno‐behavior of the event‐triggering time series is excluded. By using Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method as well as impulsive control theory, an easy‐to‐check sufficient criterion is derived to ensure the average consensus of the considered nonlinear multi‐agent systems. Finally, the applications and effectiveness of the obtained results is validated with a simulation example.

Leader–follower synchronization of networked multi‐agent systems via hybrid protocols

“…As a specific kind of DNs, networked multi-agent systems (NMASs) have recently been widely studied due to their applications in unmanned aerial vehicles [8], sensor networks [9], smart grids [10], and so on. Subsequently, many scholars have devoted to investigating the dynamics of NMASs, and many interesting consensus or synchronization results on NMASs have been reported [11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, the systems in the above-mentioned literature are all real-valued.…”

Dynamic cooperative learning control of output‐feedback systems with output constraints

“…Therefore, they have broad application prospects in many fields. During the past period, some innovative works have been reported, for example, see [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Since most constructed adaptive controllers have ensured the stability of control systems, the current research is turning to how to improve control performance.…”

Input‐to‐state stability for discrete‐time time‐varying impulsive switched delayed systems with asynchronous phenomena

“…Impulsive systems consist of two parts that the piece-wise continuous evolution described by the differential equations and the discrete-time dynamic called impulses [1], while switched systems are composed of a family of subsystems coordinated by a piece-wise continuous function called the switching signal bringing inspiration to deal with multi-modal systems [2]. The systems mentioned above have been widely investigated owing to their practicality in engineering, such as multi-agent systems (MASs), electronic circuit systems, and spacecraft systems; see previous works [3][4][5][6] and references therein.…”
