One decentralized state control rule is constructed for each agent to track the active leader and it is proved that the proposed control scheme enables the consensus to be obtained when the adjacency topology is fixed/switched. Simulation results show effectiveness of the proposed theoretical analysis.展开更多

The state of the leader not only keeps changing but also maynot be measured. To estimate the state such a leader individually, a neighbor-based local controllertogether with a neighbor-based state-estimation rule is given for each autonomous agent. Then, theauthors prove that, with the help of a constructed common Lyapunov function (CLF), each agent cantrack the active leader with unmeasurable states. Finally, the authors explicitly construct a CLF foran active leader with unknown periodic input for illustration.展开更多

One decentralized state control rule is constructed for each agent to track the active leader and it is proved that the proposed control scheme enables the consensus to be obtained when the adjacency topology is fixed/switched.
