Consensus control for nonlinear multi-agent systems with event-triggered communications

作者：

Highlights：

• Since proposed methods are suitable for systems with one-sided Lipschitz constants and a wide range of nonlinear systems, it has less conservatism and stronger generality.

• The paper introduces two types of control schemes, that is, static and dynamic event-triggered control schemes, to achieve the consensus problems for leader-follower systems and leaderless systems with nonlinear dynamics. In particular, the dynamic event-triggered control protocol and the corresponding triggering function, the construction of which is independent of the global information of the MASs.

• Event-triggered mechanisms are adopted to reduce network bandwidth requirements. The designed event-triggered mechanisms do not cause Zeno behavior, which can be proved in detail in this paper.
