In the paper, schooling problems based on containment control in multi-agent systems that have static or dynamic leaders under directed and undirected communication topologies are investigated. We propose a periodic impulsive containment control algorithm to realize schooling in multi-agent systems. Both ideal and quantized relative state measurements are considered under this framework. Some necessary and sufficient conditions, which depend on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix that is associated with the communication graph, the impulsive period as well as the gain parameters, are obtained to realize the containment control of schooling. Finally, some numerical simulations are illustrated to verify the theoretical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
