Adaptive leader-following consensus in multi-agent systems with second-order nonlinear dynamics and directed switching topologies
Hajar Atrianfar, ءMohammad Haeri · 2013
In this paper, we develop control algorithms for addressing second-order consensus problems in intrinsically second-order nonlinear multi-agent dynamical systems with switching topologies. The proposed adaptive controller applies a leader-following strategy in which all agents are assumed to be informed of the leader's state. Another feature of this work which specifically distinguishes it from others is that the proposed controller uses undirected and directed graphs to accommodate for a full range of possible graph information topologies without limitations of bidirectional communication.
