Group Consensus of Hybrid Multi-Agent Systems With Event-Triggering Conditions

Abstract

This paper investigates the group consensus problem of hybrid multi-agent systems(HMASs) under event-triggering conditions. The communication between multi-agents can be effectively reduced by the event-triggering mechanism, and the energy consumption of system can be saved. First, a HMAS is constructed, which composes of individuals with continuous and discrete two states. A distributed hybrid multi-agent group consensus controller is proposed. Then considering the joint measurement method, appropriate event-triggering strategy is given, which effectively avoids the occurrence of Zeno phenomenon. Lyapunov’s method is used to prove that system can finally achieve group consensus. Finally, the correctness of the research results is confirmed by simulation.
