Output Feedback Control for Couple-Group Consensus of Multiagent Systems

Abstract EN

This paper deals with the couple-group consensus problem for multiagent systems via output feedback control.

Both continuous- and discrete-time cases are considered.

The consensus problems are converted into the stability problem of the error systems by the system transformation.

We obtain two necessary and sufficient conditions of couple-group consensus in different forms for each case.

Two different algorithms are used to design the control gains for continuous- and discrete-time case, respectively.

Finally, simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.
