Robust semiglobal swarm tracking of coupled harmonic oscillators with input saturation and external disturbance

Abstract

The robust semiglobal swarm tracking problem of N coupled harmonic oscillators and 1 actual leader with input saturation and external disturbance on a directed communication topology is considered, in which the N coupled harmonic oscillators are referred to followers. First, the low-and-high gain feedback technique is introduced to construct a relative state-dependent control algorithm. Then, an observer-based control algorithm is designed based on the low-and-high gain feedback technique and the high-gain observer design methodology. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee robust semiglobal swarm tracking for state-feedback control and output-feedback control, respectively. Numerical simulations are finally provided to verify the theoretic results. KEYWORDS coupled harmonic oscillators, disturbance, high-gain observer, low-and-high gain feedback, swarm tracking 1566

Robust global consensus tracking of linear multi‐agent systems with input saturation via scheduled low‐and‐high gain feedback

“…When and , global consensus tracking problem is solved via scheduled low gain feedback law (10). This is superior to the semi‐global consensus tracking via fixed low gain feedback in [18–24, 38]. When and , global consensus tracking with disturbance rejections is achieved via replacing in (13) and in (12) by and respectively.…”

“…In this subsection, a family of scheduled low‐and‐high gain output protocol will be constructed to solve Problem 2. To this end, we first use the special coordinate basis approach [30, 31, 38] to transform the states of the agents into two parts, the measured part and unmeasured part. Then, a reduced‐order observer is designed for the unmeasurable part.…”

Leader‐following consensus of general linear fractional‐order multiagent systems with input delay via event‐triggered control

“…According to the properties of Kronecker product, we can get that Re i (I N ⊗ A − cH ⊗ BB T P) < 0, ∀i = 1, 2, … , Nn. Hence, there must exist constants > 0 and > 0 such that (4) with the triggered function (5). Let Assumption 1 and Assumption 2 hold, if there exist > 0, 0 < < − 1, > 0 and K = cB T P, with c and P decided by (6) and (7), and and related to (8), for any bounded delays ≥ 0, the leader can be tracked by the followers and the Zeno behavior can be avoided.…”

“…Recently, collective behaviors in multiagent systems (MASs), such as consensus, flocking, and rendezvous, have received a lot of attention and research, owing to the general phenomena in nature and the wide applications in sensor networks, biological systems, and unmanned vehicles, to name a few. Consensus as one of the particular focus problems has been extensively investigated in related works [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and many references therein.…”

Robust cooperative tracking of multiagent systems with asymmetric saturation actuator via output feedback

“…Recently, considerable research achievements have been made in designing control algorithms that can achieve high precision control objectives to avoid actuator saturation. Several References 9‐15 mainly focus on the low gain feedback consensus control strategy, and study semiglobal consensus or robust semiglobal consensus for multiagent systems under actuator saturation through low‐and‐high gain feedback control or low gain variable structure control methods. While others 16‐20 expend effort on exploring global consensus or robust global consensus.…”
