This paper investigates the leader-following consensus problem of the switched multi-agent systems with general second-order dynamics. In the switched systems, we consider two subsystems, CT (continuous-time) subsystems and DT (discrete-time) subsystems. A linear distributed control algorithm is proposed for leader-following consensus in the multi-agent systems with switched dynamics. Moreover, based on the method of modern control theory and matrix theory, some consensus conditions are derived for leader-following multi-agent systems with general second-order switched dynamics. Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of the theoretical results are tested by some simulation results.
