"Consensus Tracking of Data-Sampled Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems with " by Xiangli Jiang, Guihua Xia et al.
This paper investigates the tracking consistency regulation of high-order multi-agent systems (MASs) subject to Lipschitz nonlinear perturbations. Rooting at the leader node, the interagent interaction is described by a directed graph that contains a directed spanning tree. On designing the tracking protocol, an aperiodic data sampling scheme is introduced such that in-neighbors' information can be aperiodically sampled and transmitted via broadcast channels, where packet loss and communication delay are unavoidably existent. Thanks to algebraic graph theory and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functi...
