Xinyao Li, Changyun Wen, Xiao‐Kang Liu · IEEE Control Systems Letters · 2020
In this letter, we investigate consensus control of fractional-order multi-agent systems with the order within (0, 1) via sampled-data control. A new scheme to design distributed controllers with rigorous analysis is presented by utilizing the unique properties of fractional-order calculus, namely hereditary and infinite memory. It is established that global boundedness of all closed-loop signals is ensured and asymptotic consensus is realized. Simulation studies are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method and verify the obtained results.
