Leader-follower fixed-time group consensus control of multiagent systems under directed topology (Q2012783)

Summary: This paper investigates the fixed-time group consensus problem for a leader-follower network of integrators with directed topology. A nonlinear distributed control protocol, based on local information, is proposed such that the follower agents in each subgroup are able to track their corresponding leaders in a prescribed convergence time regardless of the initial conditions. Simulation examples are presented to demonstrate the availability of our theoretical results.
