Housheng Su, Yaping Sun, Zhigang Zeng · IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics · 2019
The observer-based edge-consensus problem of networked continuous-time dynamical systems with edge state non-negative constraint and actuator saturation is considered in this paper. Based on line graph theory, low-gain output-feedback technique and algebraic Riccati equation (ARE)-based method, two edge-consensus algorithms are designed to achieve the observer-based edge consensus, in which the specific mathematical expressions of the two algorithms are obtained. Meanwhile, sufficient conditions are obtained to meet the bounded inputs and the non-negative edge states by combining with the ARE-based low-gain output-feedback technique and the positive system theory. Moreover, the feedback-gain and observer-gain matrices which must meet the sufficient conditions at the same time are existed and easy to obtain. Finally, two simulation cases are introduced to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
