Consensus of Delayed Multi‐agent Systems via Intermittent Impulsive Control. Issue 3 (7th December 2016) - Yang, Shasha
Abstract: A novel intermittent impulsive scheme is presented to realize consensus of multi‐agent systems with time‐varying delay in this paper because intermittent impulsive control may break through the limitation of upper bound of impulsive intervals in general impulsive control in our consensus scheme. Instead of activating all the time, we introduce the intermittent impulsive control approach into the delayed multi‐agent systems where the impulsive controller is only functioned in the control windows. Based on the algebraic graph theory, the Lyapunov stability theory, and Halanay inequality matrix theory, some adequate conditions are proposed to guarantee the consensus of delayed multi‐agent systems via pinning intermittent impulsive control. Simulation results are provided ultimately to verify the validity of the proposed control mechanism.
