Renming Yang · Kongzhi yu juece · 2013
Under the connected bipartite graph topology,the group-consensus protocol design problem is investigated for a class of first-order multi-agent systems with and without time delay respectively,and several new results are presented. Firstly,based on the properties of the bipartite graph,a control protocol is designed and the group-consensus problem is studied for the systems without time delay,and the final convergence states are given with respect to the initial conditions. Then,the group-consensus problem of the systems with time delay is investigated,and the maximum allowed delay is obtained.Finally,the simulation result shows the correctness of the proposed method.
