Abstract

Abstract: This article investigates the consensus problem of one‐sided Lipschitz nonlinear multi‐agent systems (MASs) with distributed asynchronous impulsive control protocol. Based on the theory of discontinuous Lyapunov stability and impulsive differential equation, some new sufficient criteria about asynchronous impulsive control are derived to guarantee the consensus of one‐sided Lipschitz nonlinear MASs. Different from the existing methods of synchronous impulsive control, the asynchronous impulsive control does not need all agents are controlled simultaneously at one impulsive instant. Compared with the traditional Lipschitz condition, the one‐sided Lipschitz nonlinear function considered in this article can obtain a wider nonlinear range. Finally, some numerical simulation examples are given to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.
