Pinning Controllability Analysis of Complex Networks With a Distributed Event-Triggered Mechanism

Event-based exponential synchronization of complex networks

“…Different from the traditional discrete-time updating controllers, the eventtriggered controller updates are determined by certain events that are triggered depending on the nodes' behavior. Based on the seminal works (Å ström and Bernhardsson 2002;Å ström 2008), the event-triggered controllers have been adopted widely for control science and engineering applications (Wang and Lemmon 2011;Mazo and Tabuada 2011;Tabuada 2007;Dimarogonas et al 2012;Almeida et al 2014;Liuzza et al 2013;Adaldo et al 2014;Zhu et al 2014;Fan et al 2013;Li et al 2015;Gao et al 2014;Zhou et al 2015a). In Dimarogonas et al (2012), the authors studied the event-triggered consensus of multiagent systems with undirected communication topology.…”

“…However, the triggering function designed in Li et al (2015) still need to decouple the actual states of the nodes. Hence, we are eager to consider the synchronization problem of complex networks via distributed event-triggered diffusions, which has rarely been considered (Liuzza et al 2013;Adaldo et al 2014;Li et al 2015;Gao et al 2014;Zhou et al 2015a).…”

“…3. In this paper, we consider the synchronization of complex networks with both irreducible and reducible topologies, while in Gao et al (2014) and Zhou et al (2015a), the authors only considered pinning synchronization of complex networks.…”

Event-triggered consensus for double-integrator multi-agent systems

“…In real-world multi-agent networks, it is desired to save energy as much as possible due to limited bandwidth and the physical property of the communication channel. Recently, event-triggered communication protocol has been proposed as an alternative approach to the traditional consen-sus protocol [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. On the premise of guaranteeing consensus performance, eventbased schedule aims at decreasing the system's unnecessary information exchanging among the neighboring agents and hence save communication cost.…”

Leader-Following Consensus in Second-Order Multiagent Systems via Event-Triggered Control With Nonperiodic Sampled Data

“…The so-called event-triggered control protocol is that the data transmission only occurs when a measurement error increases to a certain threshold; thus, the same control goal can be achieved with less data transmission. There have been considerable research efforts on event-triggered control Manuscript protocol, including the problem of packet loss [12], timedependent threshold [13], periodic sampled data [14], [15], combinational measurement errors [16]- [20], potential Zeno behavior [21], time delay [20], pinning control [22], [23], and second-order dynamics [19]. In practice, it is possible that the sampling interval cannot be constant [24], [25]; thus, it is natural that the nonperiodic sampling systems are more favorable than the periodic sampling systems.…”
