“…Moreover, the disturbances considered in this article are more challenging in three cases: (a) the disturbances are not available for measurement; (b) the disturbances suffered by each agent are heterogeneous, and (c) the disturbances are not required to be stable or bounded. The points including unbounded, heterogeneous, and immeasurable external disturbances, heterogeneous MASs, event‐triggered control, adaptive control, and bipartite control are taken into account in the meantime. Compared with the existing results where only a part of points are considered, the proposed method is more extensive. Compared with the existing methods, most of them cannot be applied in our article directly, since there exist some limitations such as continuous communication, single‐ or double‐ integrator dynamics, homogeneous linear dynamics, and global information‐dependent parameter design . Therefore, the method in this article is more general.…”

This study investigates the fully distributed bipartite output consensus issue of heterogeneous linear multiagent systems (HLMASs) based on event-triggered transmission mechanism. Both the cooperative interaction and the antagonistic interaction between neighbor agents are considered. A fully distributed bipartite compensator consisting of time-varying coupling gain and dynamic event-triggered mechanism is first proposed to estimate the leader's states. Different from the existing schemes, the proposed compensator is independent of any global information of the network topology, is capable of achieving intermittent communication between neighbors, and is applicable for the signed communication topology. Then the distributed output feedback control protocol is developed such that the fully distributed bipartite event-triggered output consensus problem can be achieved. Moreover, we extend the results in HLMASs without external disturbances to HLMASs with disturbances, which is more challenging in three cases (a) the disturbances are not available for measurement, (b) the disturbances suffered by each agent are heterogeneous, and (c) the disturbances are not required to be stable or bounded. It is proven that the proposed controllers fulfill the exclusion of Zeno behavior in two consensus problems. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility of the theoretical results.

It aims at designing the distributed control scheme such that a set of agents reach an agreement on state or output. Some pioneering works on this topic can be found in References 4-12 and references therein. For example, many early studies focused on the relative simple systems including single-integrator systems 4,5 and double-integrator systems. 6,7 Since then, many efforts have been devoted to the more general linear MASs. 8,9 Note 3382 /journal/rnc Int J Robust Nonlinear Control. 2020;30:3382-3410.CAI et al. 3383that the aforementioned works are developed on homogeneous systems, that is, the system dynamics of all agents are the same. However, in many practical scenarios, the system dynamics are often different. In this regard, the output consensus problem of heterogeneous MASs is usually studied. Several typical results have been obtained (see References 10-12 and the references therein). From the review of the control protocols in above-mentioned works, it can be observed that continuous communication between each agent and its neighbors is required. However, in many real applications, each ...

“…Nevertheless, in works References 38‐42, the communication between neighbor agents was continuous. To address this scenario, some bipartite consensus control under event‐triggered transmission mechanism was proposed 43‐46 . From the review of the consensus control in References 43‐46, we can see that the global information of the network graph is required in their controllers.…”

This paper investigates the distributed bipartite leader‐following consensus for uncertain linear multi‐agent systems based on event‐triggered mechanism. Both cooperative communication and hostile communication between neighbor agents are taken into account. The distributed static bipartite event‐triggered controller is first proposed to address the consensus issue. Note that the communication in both controller updating and triggering condition monitoring is intermittent, thus the communication resources can be greatly saved. Then the fully distributed adaptive bipartite event‐triggered controller is designed such that the bipartite leader‐following consensus problem can be achieved. Different from the existing control schemes, the proposed controller can be independent of the global information of the communication topology, can achieve the intermittent communication between neighbors, can suppress the effect of uncertainty, and is applicable for the signed communication topology. Moreover, the Zeno behavior in both triggering mechanisms can be excluded. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the feasibility of the main theoretical findings.
