Impulsive consensus algorithms for second-order multi-agent networks with sampled information

Distributed networked control systems: A brief overview

“…In the context of MASs, the sampled-data second-order consensus problems were studied in continuous-time case [97,84,40,20,14,6,5] and in discrete-time case [58].…”

Network-based leader-following consensus of nonlinear multi-agent systems via distributed impulsive control

“…As impulsive control allows systems to possess discontinuous inputs, it is natural to design a distributed impulsive controller using sampled data from each agent and its neighbors at only discrete-time instants. In [7], two distributed impulsive consensus protocols were proposed for linear multi-agent systems. Later, an improved impulsive consensus algorithm with less information transmission required was introduced in [5].…”

Output consensus of multi‐agent systems with delayed and sampled‐data

“…Remark 4. So far, the consensus problem of multi-agent systems with the sampled-data [22,33], sampled-data and time-delay [27,28], nonlinear dynamics and time-delay [42,43,44] have been reported in the literatures. All of the above mentioned literatures are on the state consensus.…”

“…Thus, the consensus with sampled-data and time-delay is meaningful research topic. The articles studying sampled-data systems mainly include: discrete-time models [19,20,21], impulsive models [22,23,24], quantized models [16,25], and time-delay systems [26,27,28]. Most of the works mentioned above are concerned with state consensus.…”

“…In [19], the authors studied the multi-consensus problem and multi-tracking problem of second-order multi-agent sys-tems by using only sampled current and past position data, a necessary and sufficient condition on gains and sampled period was given under directed topology. In [22], two kinds of impulsive distributed consensus algorithms which only utilize the sampled information were proposed to investigate the distributed consensus problem for second-order continuous-time multi-agent systems with sampled-data communication. In [27,33], the authors studied the state consensus in multi-agent dynamical systems with sampled-data, and distributed linear consensus protocols were proposed.…”
