Adaptive Event-Triggered Bipartite Containment Control of Linear Multiagent Systems Under Directed Topologies

Nonfragile containment control of nonlinear multi‐agent systems via a disturbance observer‐based approach

“…Theorem 2. Suppose that the directed topology satisfies Assumption 1, the feedback gain, state observer gain and disturbance observer gain are designed by K 1) with external disturbance system (2) under the control protocol (12) solves the distributed nonfragile containment control problem with external disturbance if there exist matrices P 11 > 0, P 22 > 0 and matrices X, Y 1 , and Y 2 such that the following LMI holds:…”

“…In general, due to the number of leaders in the control system, consensus problem is then called consensus tracking problem (one leader) [8][9][10] or containment control problem (multiple leaders). [11][12][13] As a matter of fact, it is much more attracting and challenging to investigate the containment control problem in practical application, especially in military areas such as sea hunting.…”

“…Consensus problem, as a fundamental and non‐negligible research topic of MASs, requires that all agents achieve an agreement on a common state, depending on the designed consensus protocols using only relative measurements among neighboring agents. In general, due to the number of leaders in the control system, consensus problem is then called consensus tracking problem (one leader) 8–10 or containment control problem (multiple leaders) 11–13 . As a matter of fact, it is much more attracting and challenging to investigate the containment control problem in practical application, especially in military areas such as sea hunting.…”

“…Second, by taking advantage of matrix transformation and inequality technique, the feedback controller gain, as well as the corresponding observer gain, is obtained. Finally, neither external disturbance nor nonfragility are considered in References 12 and 13, and only external disturbance or nonfragility is handled in References 19, 24–26, 29, 32–35, however, there exist few works to deal with consensus problems considering both external disturbance and nonfragility. In this article, to fill the research gaps on consensus problems, we solve the nonfragile containment control problems of MASs with disturbance rejection under directed communication topology, in which all these two factors are involved.…”

A distributed containment tracking control of the UAV formation with prescribed performance subject to collision avoidance

“…However, during the movement of the formation, the UAVs are at risk of colliding with each other. 2 Moreover, some tasks even require to complete containment tracking by UAV formations within a finite time. 3 Consequently, conducting research on the control problem of finite-time containment tracking for UAV formations with collision avoidance holds great significant importance for enabling effective applications.…”
