Event-triggered Output Feedback H_? Consensus Control For Multi-agent Systems

This paper considers the output feedback H_?consensus control problem of multi-agent systems which is using an event-triggered control strategy,which is based on algebraic graph theory,linear system theory,Lyapunov stability theory,event-triggered control strategy,etc.First,the research background of this paper is briefly analyzed and explained,the advantages of multi-agent systems are described,and the main research approaches to the consensus problem of multi-agent systems are introduced.Next,the research background of the event-triggered control problem is reviewed,and the current state of research on the event-triggered H_? control problem is outlined and analyzed to understand the research process in this direction.Then,the output feedback H_? consensus control problem of multi-agent systems is studied using an event-triggered control strategy.Two types of transmission delays,one from the system output to the output feedback controller and the other from the output feedback control to the zero-order holder,are considered.This causes the output feedback control and the system not to be updated in the same time intervals.An interval dividing approach is applied such that the whole system can be updated in the same time intervals.An event-triggered output feedback control with H_?performance is proposed for multi-agent systems with directed network topology to achieve consensus.By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov functional,sufficient conditions based on linear matrix inequality(LMI)are derived to guarantee the consensus achievement.Next,the correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified by simulation examples.Finally,it summarizes the main research content and the innovations of this article,and looks forward to the following scientific research work,and clarifies the further research direction.
