Consensus for second-order nonlinear leader-following multi-agent systems via event-triggered control

Abstract

The topic about the consensus tracking algorithm design is investigated for nonlinear second-order leader-following multi-agent systems via event-triggered sampled-data control. By combing the techniques of event-triggered with time-triggered, an event-triggered feedback control law is designed, which can ensure that the state consensus is reachable and the time of two consecutive transmissions is bounded below by a positive constant. Simulation result is presented to show the efficiencies of the given consensus algorithm.
