Consensus of Continuous-Time Multiagent Systems with General Linear Dynamics and Nonuniform Sampling

Abstract EN

This paper studies the consensus problem of multiple agents with generallinear continuous-time dynamics.

It is assumed that the information transmissionamong agents is intermittent; namely, each agent can only obtain theinformation of other agents at some discrete times, where the discrete timeintervals may not be equal.

Some sufficient conditions for consensus in thecases of state feedback and static output feedback are established, and it isshown that if the controller gain and the upper bound of discrete time intervalssatisfy certain linear matrix inequality, then consensus can be reached.

Simulations are performed to validate the theoretical results.
