Reaching Agreement in Finite Time via Continuous Local State Feedback
Feng Xiao, Wang Long · 2006
In this paper, we consider finite-time state agreement problems for continuous-time multi-agent systems and propose two continuous protocols, which ensure that states of agents reach an agreement in a finite time. Moreover, the second protocol solves the finite-time average-agreement problem and can be applied to the systems under switching topology. Upper bounds of convergence times are also established. Examples are presented to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
