Sampled-Data Control Based Consensus of Fractional-Order Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate consensus control of fractional-order\nmulti-agent systems with order in (0,1) via sampled-data control. A new scheme\nto design distributed controllers with rigorous analysis is presented by\nutilizing the unique properties of fractional-order calculus, namely hereditary\nand infinite memory. It is established that global boundedness of all\nclosed-loop signals is ensured and asymptotic consensus is realized. Simulation\nstudies are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control\nmethod and verify the obtained results.\n
