Distributed Event-Triggered Control of Multiagent Systems with General Linear Dynamics

Abstract EN

This paper discusses the event-triggered consensus problem of multiagent systems.

To investigatedistributed event-triggering strategies applied to general linear dynamics, we employ a dynamic controllerto convert the general linear dynamic to the single-integrator model by a change of variable.

Theconsensus value of these new states is a constant so that the distributed event-triggering schemeis obtained under periodic event detections, in which agents with general linear dynamics requireknowledge only of the relative states with their neighbors.

Further, an event-triggered observer isproposed to address the case that only relative output information is available.

Hence, the consensus ofboth the state-based and observer-based cases is achieved by the distributed event-triggered dynamiccontroller.

Finally, numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of theoreticalresults.
