Abstract This paper investigates distributed consensus problems in networks of second‐order agents with time‐delay and switching topology. A delayed linear consensus protocol is introduced and the corresponding convergence analysis is provided as well. Some sufficient conditions are given which ensure the agreement of all agents under arbitrary switching of the network topology in presence of time‐delay. All obtained conditions are expressed as linear matrix inequalities. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
