Fixed-time distributed optimization for multi-agent systems with external disturbances over directed networks

This article considers the fixed-time distributed optimization problem of multi-agent systems with external disturbances, in which the global optimization objective is a convex combination of local objective functions. To solve this issue, a directed communication network is carefully designed, and an integral sliding mode control protocol is proposed based on the gradient of global objective function first. Moreover, two distributed optimal protocols are designed by using the gradient and the Hessian matrix of local objective function, respectively. By employing Lyapunov stability theory, graph theory, convex analysis, and inequality techniques, we prove that all proposed protocols can make agents achieve consensus and converge accurately to the optimal solution of the considered problem in some fixed-time intervals. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to verify the feasibility of the theoretical results.     

Neural network-based event-triggered cluster quasi-consensus for unknown multiagent systems with directed topology

This paper studies cluster quasi-consensus problem for a class of unknown nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with directed communication topology. First, a distributed continuous neural network (NN)-based adaptive protocol is presented for solving this problem by introducing reference model to each agent. Then, taking limited communication resource and energy consumption into account, a distributed event-triggered cluster quasi-consensus protocol is proposed. Different from the existing results, two event-triggered mechanisms are constructed in the proposed event-triggered protocol to reduce communication load and control update frequency as possible. The sufficient conditions that guarantee cluster quasi-consensus under the both proposed protocols are obtained, respectively. Zeno behavior is proved to be excluded. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed protocols.

Observer-based event-triggered leader-following control of a class of linear multi-agent systems

This paper addresses an observer-based consensus problem for leader-following control of a class of linear multi-agent systems (MASs) under a directed communication topology via event-triggered approaches. State observers are employed to tackle the scenario wherein inner information of the follower agents are not available for measurement. And then, an observer-based distributed leader-following control scheme is developed on the basis of event-triggered mechanisms. Further, to avoid continuous measurement information monitor, we present a technical approach for generation of the combinational information from their own neighbouring agents only at triggered instants. In theory, the stability of the resulting closed-loop system is rigorously investigated, and it is proven that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded and Zeno behaviour is also excluded. Finally, simulation examples are presented for illustration of the theoretical claims.     

Fixed-Time Output Consensus Tracking for High-Order Multi-Agent Systems With Directed Network Topology and Packet Dropout

This paper studies the problem of fixed-time output consensus tracking for high-order multi-agent systems (MASs) with directed network topology with consideration of data packet dropout. First, a predictive compensation based distributed observer is presented to compensate for packet dropout and estimate the leader’s states. Next, stability analysis is conducted to prove fixed time convergence of the developed distributed observer. Then, adaptive fixed-time dynamic surface control is designed to counteract mismatched disturbances introduced by observation error, and stabilize the tracking error system within a fixed time, which overcomes explosion of complexity problem and singularity problem. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the consensus tracking strategy proposed. The contribution of this paper is to provide a fixed-time distributed observer design method for high-order MAS under directed graph subject to packet dropout, and a novel fixed-time control strategy which can handle mismatched disturbances and overcome explosion of complexity and singularity problem.
