Networked Convergence of Fractional-Order Multiagent Systems with a Leader and Delay

Abstract

This paper investigates the convergence of fractional-order discrete-time multiagent systems with a leader and sampling delay by using Hermite-Biehler theorem and the change of bilinearity. It is shown that such system can achieve convergence depending on the sampling intervalh, the fractional-orderα, and the sampling delayτand its interconnection topology. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the results.
