Leader-following consensus of second-order agents with multiple time-varying delays

Consensus seeking of delayed high-order multi-agent systems with predictor-based algorithm

“…For the second-order multi-agent systems with dynamical consensus algorithm, some compensation-based consensus algorithms, which are in the asynchronously-coupled form accompanied with delayed state compensations, have been designed to regain the original dynamical consensus [13,16,39]. Compared with usual synchronously-coupled algorithm, interestingly, the compensation-based consensus algorithms in asynchronouslycoupled form tolerate higher communication delay [13].…”

“…Inspired by the compensation-based algorithms in [13,16,39], we modify the consensus algorithm (4) into a predictor-based form as follows…”

Pursuing an evader through cooperative relaying in multi-agent surveillance networks

“…In particular, tracking and surveillance have given rise to especially important research problems for distributed cooperative control for multi-agent systems. In this context, the agents are usually required to move to their desired positions within a given deployment area where a mobile target of interest is moving around [4,8,11,25]. As a result of the growing research interest, a number of papers have appeared addressing the multi-agent tracking and surveillance problem from different angles.…”

“…Delays have not been taken into account in all of the above listed papers except for [18]. To deal with delays, Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and inequality techniques are used in [16] and [25], respectively. In addition, multiagent surveillance and distributed environmental monitoring are investigated in [22], [21] and [5].…”

Output consensus of multi‐agent systems with delayed and sampled‐data

“…In the past decades, the related topics on consensus problems have been comprehensively further studied in different situations, for example, consensus in networks with time-delays [6,7,8], finite time consensus [9,10,11,12,13], consensus in stochastic networks [14,15], quantized consensus [16,17,18], and so on.…”
