Distributed Containment Control Problem Of Linear Multi-agent Systems

This paper investigates the distributed containment control problem for multi-agent systems.Distributed containment control protocols on the basis of state feedback design and output feedback design are proposed.Continuous-time linear multi-agent systems and discrete-time linear multi-agent systems are proposed, dynamic output feedback controller design and static output feedback controller are researched.Necessary and sufficient con-tainment control conditions are presented which depend on the spectral properties of the topology matrix.
