The topologies that characterize the interaction among the leaders and the followers are directed graphs. Necessary and sufficient criteria which guarantee the control objectives are established for both stationary leaders(regulation case) and dynamic leaders(dynamic tracking case) based protocols. The final states of all the followers are exclusively determined by the initial values of the leaders and the topology structures. In the regulation case, all the followers converge into the convex hull spanned by the leaders,while in the dynamic tracking case, not only the positions of the followers converge into the convex hull but also the velocities of the followers converge into the velocity convex hull of the leaders.Finally, all the theoretical results are illustrated by numerical simulations.展开更多

What differs our problems from the conventional leader-following consensus problem is that we need to preserve the connectivity of the communication graph instead of assuming the connectivity of the communication graph. By integrating the adaptive control technique, the distributed observer method and the potential function method, the two problems are both solved.

This paper proposes a discretization method based on Taylor series and the SOH assumption for the nonlinear systems with the time delayed non-affine input. The mathematical structure of the proposed discretization method is explored. This proposed discretization method can provide a precise and finite dimensional discretization model for the nonlinear time-delayed non-affine system by keeping the truncation order of the Taylor series. The performance of the proposed discretization method is evaluated by doing the simulation using a nonlinear system with the time-delayed non-affine input.Different input signals, time-delay values and sampling periods are considered in the simulation to investigate the proposed method.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is practical and easy for time-delayed nonlinear non-affine systems.The comparison between SOH assumption with first-order hold(FOH) and zero-order hold(ZOH) assumptions is given to show the advantages of the proposed method.展开更多

The velocity of each agent is assumed to be unmeasurable. A second-order sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the velocity. Then a distributed discontinuous control law based on first-order SMC is presented to solve the consensus problem. Moreover, to overcome the chatting problem, two controllers based on the boundary layer method and the super-twisting algorithm respectively are presented. It is shown that the MASs will achieve consensus under some given conditions. Some examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control laws.展开更多
