Abstract

Fixed-time synchronization problem for a class of leader–follower multi-agent systems with second-order nonlinearity is studied in this article. A new fixed-time synchronization control algorithm is developed by effectively combining homogeneous system theory, Lyapunov stability theory, and fixed-time/finite-time control technology. The leader–follower multi-agent system is considered to achieve fixed-time synchronization control. Finally, numerical simulations including coordination control multiple pendulum robot systems and electric power networks are carried out to verify the control performance of the control strategy.
