Distributed Average Tracking for Reference Signals With Bounded Accelerations
Fei Chen, Wei Ren, Weiyao Lan, Guanrong Chen · IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control · 2014
In this technical note, the distributed average tracking (DAT) problem for reference signals with bounded accelerations is considered. A sliding-mode surface is designed such that trajectories on the surface will achieve DAT. A discontinuous control algorithm is then proposed to guarantee that the surface can be reached in finite time. It is shown that if the switching network topology is connected at all time, then DAT can be solved by properly choosing a gain parameter of the algorithm.
