Distributed quadratic optimisation for linear multi‐agent systems over jointly connected networks
Bomin Huang, Yao Zou, Ziyang Meng · IET Control Theory and Applications · 2019
In this study, the distributed optimisation problem for linear multi‐agent systems with disturbance rejection is considered. The topology graph is assumed to be uniformly jointly strongly connected and the disturbance is not limited to satisfy the matching condition. Each agent is assigned with a local quadratic cost function and the objective is to minimise the sum of local cost functions based on information exchange. The authors propose a distributed observer for each agent such that other agents' cost functions are obtained. Then, the state feedback and output feedback optimal algorithms are designed based on the output of the distributed observer. The theoretical results are validated by simulations.
