Multiconsensus of second-order multiagent networks via pulse-modulated intermittent control (Q2175974)

Summary: This paper studies the multiconsensus problem of multiagent networks based on sampled data information via the pulse-modulated intermittent control (PMIC) which is a general control framework unifying impulsive control, intermittent control, and sampling control. Two kinds of multiconsensus, including stationary multiconsensus and dynamic multiconsensus of multiagent networks, are taken into consideration in such control framework. Based on the eigenvalue analysis and algebraic graph theory, some necessary and sufficient conditions on the feedback gains and the control period are established to ensure the multiconsensus. Finally, several simulation results are included to show the theoretical results.
