Reset Control for Consensus of Multiagent Systems with Event-Triggered Communication
Guanglei Zhao, Changchun Hua, Xinping Guan · IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics · 2019
In the existing literature, reset control has been shown to have great potential to improve transient performance of linear systems, but reset-induced jump dynamics bring difficulties for stability analysis, especially under the network environment. In this article, we apply reset control to the consensus of multiagent systems (MASs) with event-triggered communication, and a novel reset mechanism (RM) and a hybrid event-triggering mechanism (ETM) are proposed with guaranteed Zeno-freeness. The state space is decomposed into multiple flow sets and jump sets according to the RM and ETM, and a hybrid model of the MASs is constructed such that the reset induced and event-trigger induced jump dynamics can be handled in a unified framework. Based on the hybrid model, a novel hybrid systems framework is presented for consensus analysis and co-design of RM and ETM. Finally, the proposed design is verified with a simulation example.
