“…The consensus has developed rapidly and yielded fruitful results, and has been widely applied to a variety of scientific and engineering problems, including synchronization of coupled oscillators, formation control, swarm control, optimal cooperative control, clustering, sensor networks, etc. (Lin, Zhang, & Liu, 2018;Zhang, Hu, Liu, Yu, & Liu, 2019). This paper will introduce mainly the development and research status from the following aspects: consensus subjected to communication constraints, leaderfollowing consensus, group consensus, consensus based on trigger mechanism, finite-time consensus, multiple consensus and multiple tracking.…”
