This paper is devoted to the study of rotating consensus problem for leader-following multi-agent system with and without multiple time-delays in an elliptical orbit and both switching topology which is kept connected.We first define rotating consensus problem of leader-following multi-agent system in a circular orbit, and through the mapping relationship between ellipse and circular, extend rotating consensus problem to elliptical orbit.Then, we propose two new protocols for leader-following multi-agent system with and without multiple time-delays.The main results provide sufficient conditions for existence of rotating consensus for leader-following multi-agent with and without multiple time-delays in an elliptical orbit.. Simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
