Leader-Following Consensus in Networks of Agents with Nonuniform Time-Varying Delays

Abstract EN

This paper is concerned with a leader-following consensus problem for networks of agents with fixed and switching topologies as well as nonuniform time-varying communication delays.

By employing Lyapunov-Razumikhin function, a necessary and sufficient condition is derived in the case of fixed topology, and a sufficient condition is obtained in the case when the interconnection topology is switched and satisfies certain condition.

Simulation results are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
