Consensus of second-order delayed nonlinear multi-agent systems via node-based distributed adaptive completely intermittent protocols

摘要

The paper discusses second-order consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems with time delay and intermittent communications. Basing on local intermittent information among the agents, an effective control protocol is proposed by node-based distributed adaptive intermittent information, which a time-varying coupling weight to each node in the communication, some novel criteria are derived in matrix inequalities form by resorting to the generalized Halanay inequality. It is proved that second-order consensus can be reached if the measure of communication is larger than a threshold value under the strongly connected and balanced topology. Moreover, consensus problem is also considered for second-order non-delayed nonlinear multi-agent systems. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
