Consensus recovery of multi-agent systems subjected to failures

Consensus recovery is one of the most important topics of multi-agent systems subjected to failures, but there are few literatures considering this theme. In this article, two disastrous failures are introduced and corresponding recovery programs are proposed to investigate the consensus recovery of multi-agent systems. The failures of multi-agent systems mainly refer to the failures to the agents and links. The cut-agent and cut-link are presented to better understand the disastrous failures of multi-agent systems, and they are the most important components of multi-agent systems. When the cut-agent and cut-link are removed from the systems, the multi-agent systems will become disconnected, and the neighbour agents of cut-agent are used to recover the consensus of multi-agent systems in this article. For different failures, the different measures are taken to restore the connectivity of multi-agent systems, so as to recover the consensus of multi-agent systems. Under the proposed recovery strategies, the convergence speed of achieving consensus of the resulting networks is considered as the main target. Moreover, there is a trade-off between the convergence speed and robustness of the resulting networks.     

Leader-following consensus of high-order multi-agent linear systems with bounded transmission channels

The leader-following consensus of high-order multi-agent linear systems with bounded transmission channels is considered. Agents modelled as LTI dynamics exchange information according to a network which can be described as a graph with agents as its vertices and information transmission channels as its edges. The transmission channels are bounded. The objective is leader-following in the sense that the state of all agents should converge to that of the leader vehicle. Detailed analysis of the leader-following consensus under bounded transmission channels is investigated for both fixed and switching network topologies.

Consensus of multi-agent linear dynamic systems via impulsive control protocols

In this article, we introduce impulsive control protocols for multi-agent linear dynamic systems. First, an impulsive control protocol is designed for network with fixed topology based on the local information of agents. Then sufficient conditions are given to guarantee the consensus of the multi-agent linear dynamic systems by the theory of impulsive systems. Furthermore, how to select the discrete instants and impulsive matrices is discussed. The case that the topologies of networks are switching is also considered. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

Consensus of nonlinear multi-agent systems with observer-based protocols

This paper is concerned with distributed pinning consensus problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent system with observer-based protocols. Two types of state observers including local observer and distributed pinning observer are proposed for the single nonlinear agent with the first one designed by the local output information and the second one designed via the relative output information of its neighboring agents. According to the state information observed, a distributed pinning observer-based protocol is proposed for the leader-following consensus of the multi-agent system. Furthermore, two multi-step algorithms are presented to construct the observer gains and the protocol parameters for the proposed protocols respectively. It is shown that under the condition that the pinning joint communication topology contains a directed spanning tree, the sufficient criteria established can not only ensure the observation error to be globally asymptotically stable, but also guarantee the consensus of the multi-agent system to be solved asymptotically. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the observer-based protocols.     

Finite-time consensus for stochastic multi-agent systems

In this article, we study the finite-time consensus in probability for stochastic multi-agent systems.

Second, we prove that multi-agent systems can achieve the finite-time consensus in probability under five different kinds of communication topologies by using graph theory, stochastic Lyapunov theory and probability theory. Finally, some simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Consensus for linear multi-agent system with intermittent information transmissions using the time-scale theory

This paper investigates the consensus problem for linear multi-agent system with fixed communication topology in the presence of intermittent communication using the time-scale theory. Since each agent can only obtain relative local information intermittently, the proposed consensus algorithm is based on a discontinuous local interaction rule. The interaction among agents happens at a disjoint set of continuous-time intervals. The closed-loop multi-agent system can be represented using mixed linear continuous-time and linear discrete-time models due to intermittent information transmissions. The time-scale theory provides a powerful tool to combine continuous-time and discrete-time cases and study the consensus protocol under a unified framework. Using this theory, some conditions are derived to achieve exponential consensus under intermittent information transmissions. Simulations are performed to validate the theoretical results.
