文摘This paper focuses on the connectivity-preserving consensus of nonlinear switched multi-agent systems with predefined accuracy.Accordingly,a unified error transformation is adopted to preserve the initial interaction pattern determined by agents’limited communication ranges and initial states.Meanwhile,the so-called congelation of variables method is used to handle the unknown aperiodically time-varying parameters,which are fast-varying in an unknown compact set with only their radii known a priori.In addition,a series of continuously differentiable functions are incorporated into the Lyapunov function to design the controller.Based on Lyapunov stability theory,the proposed control algorithm guarantees that the consensus errors converge with a predefined accuracy,whereas most existing connectivity-preserving results can only ensure uniform ultimate boundedness.Simultaneously,all closed-loop signals remain bounded.Finally,two simulations are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control protocol.
