Observer-based output regulation of cooperative-competitive high-order multi-agent systems

Full-order observer-based output regulation for linear heterogeneous multi-agent systems under switching topology

“…Several profound results, which can build the theoretical framework of output regulation control for MASs, have been obtained, see [12][13][14][15][16][17] and the references therein. Specifically, the output regulation problems for general linear MASs were considered in [12,13]. As shown in [12,13], the system matrices A and B associated with linear MASs are homogeneous, i.e.…”

“…In this case, the output regulation problems of linear heterogeneous MASs were studied in [14][15][16][17]. It can be observed that the system dynamics of all agents are heterogeneous, which have addressed the issues of [12,13]. Moreover, it should be noted that the system states of all agents in [12,13] play a key role in their control protocols.…”

“…It can be observed that the system dynamics of all agents are heterogeneous, which have addressed the issues of [12,13]. Moreover, it should be noted that the system states of all agents in [12,13] play a key role in their control protocols. For this reason, these control strategies are developed on a common assumption that the states of agents can be measured.…”

“…The main contributions of this note are summarized as follows. Firstly, the partial DOI: 10.33969/AIS.2019.11002 21 Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Systems unmeasurable agents are considered in the present work for the first time, while the previous works studied the MASs with all measurable dynamics [12][13][14][15][16][17] or all unmeasurable dynamics [18][19][20][21][22][23]. Therefore, the case considered in this study is more general and realistic.…”
