Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="author" id="ab0005"> <title id="sect0005">Abstract</title> <sec> <p id="sp0030">To investigate the energy consumption involved in an event based control scheme, the problem of event based guaranteed cost consensus for distributed multi-agent systems with general linear time invariant dynamics is considered in this paper. A delay system method is used to transform the multi-agent systems into a special delay system based on a sampled-data event triggering mechanism, which only requires supervision of system states at discrete instants. Sufficient conditions to achieve the consensus with guaranteed cost are presented and expressed as a continuous constrained optimization problem with a linear objective function, linear and bilinear matrix inequalities constraints, involving the co-design of the controller gain matrix and event triggering parameters. An illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.</p> </sec> </abstract>
