On consensus among identical linear systems using input-decoupled functional observers
Paul O. Wieland, Frank Allgöwer · 2010
The consensus problem among identical linear systems under relative sensing is considered. We propose a method to design dynamic feedback laws depending on relative output measures between the individual systems, that ensure temporal coincidence of the output trajectory of all members of the group. Our method is based on functional input-decoupled observers and a static feedback. The two design steps can be performed independently with independent robustness features.
