Fully Distributed Consensus Control for Linear Multiagent Systems With Dynamic Double-Event-Triggered Mechanism

Abstract

This brief studies the fully distributed consensus control problem for linear multiagent systems (MASs) with a novel dynamic double-event-triggered mechanism (DDETM). The proposed DDETM can not only reduce the resource consumption of communication, but also reduce the frequency of controller update. Meanwhile, larger triggering time intervals are obtained by introducing two sets of dynamic variables in DDETM compared with the static double-event-triggered mechanism (SDETM). Then a fully distributed DDETM-based control protocol is designed, which is independent of any global information. Next, rigorous proofs are given to assure the realization of consensus control and the exclusion of Zeno behavior. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to verify the proposed protocol.
