...Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya; Sourav Patra In this paper, the non-zero finite positive state consensus problem of leader-following multi-agent systems (MASs) connected over a directed network is investigated. The multi-agent network consists of homogeneous linear time-invariant (LTI) positive agents...

...Chuanrui Wang; Lei Zhang; Feng Cao This paper deals with the inverse optimal leader-following consensus problem of a class of high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems in strict-feedback form under directed communication topology. By employing the backstepping methodology and introducing an integral...

...Diganta Bhattacharjee; Kamesh Subbarao In this paper, a set-membership filtering-based leader–follower synchronization protocol for discrete-time linear multi-agent systems is proposed, wherein the aim is to make the agents synchronize with a leader. The agents, governed by identical high-order...

...K. Subramanian; P. Muthukumar This paper studies a consensus protocol design for leader-following multi-agent systems (MASs) via stochastic sampling information. Unlike traditional sampled-data control, this paper is focused on the stochastically varying sample intervals with a given probability...

... Wang. 22 03 2011 16 03 2013 In a multi-agent system, the number and initial position of informed agents play a major role in the convergence of uninformed agents. In this paper, three different patterns of informed agents' initial positions are studied to see how the convergence...

...D. H. A. Maithripala; D. H. S. Maithripala; S. Jayasuriya We propose a framework for synthesizing real-time trajectories for a wide class of coordinating multi-agent systems. The class of problems considered is characterized by the ability to decompose a given formation objective into an equivalent...
