Containment control of second-order multi-agent systems via intermittent sampled position data communication

摘要

This paper studies containment control for second-order multi-agent systems via intermittent sampled position data communication. For the proposed protocols with and without time delay, some necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained to achieve containment by means of discussing the relationship between the network structure and some system parameters, and the final states of all followers are identified by the initial values of the leaders and the topology structure. Finally, several numerical simulations are given to verify the correctness of the theoretical results.
