This study considers the bipartite containment problem for a class of descriptor multi‐agent systems (MASs) under a structurally balanced graph. A new bipartite containment control protocol acting on each follower is proposed on the basis of designing a singular observer, where relative output information is utilised. By employing the stability theory of descriptor systems and multiple Lyapunov function technique, some sufficient criteria are derived to guarantee observer‐based bipartite containment of descriptor MASs. The feasibility of obtained theoretical results is finally verified via performing simulations.
