Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This paper is devoted to the consensus protocol design for a set of agents with fractional‐order uncertainty dynamics where the fractional order <italic>α</italic> satisfies 0 &lt; <italic>α</italic> &lt; 2. For multi‐agent systems (MASs) with fixed undirected topology, a distributed static output feedback protocol is proposed with an undetermined system matrix. Based on model transformation and fractional‐order stability theory, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the consensus of MASs in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a simulation example is employed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed consensus protocol.</p> </abstract>
