Passivity-Based Output Consensus for Second-Order Nonlinear Multiagent Systems
Lina Huang, Jin-Liang Wang, Tingwen Huang · IEEE Transactions on Circuits & Systems II Express Briefs · 2022
The output consensus for a second-order nonlinear multiagent system (MAS) with mismatched input and output vectors is investigated by exploiting the output strict passivity (OSP). By resorting to the Lyapunov functional approach and the state feedback control method, an OSP criterion for the MAS is derived. Based on the OSP and the relationship between output consensus and the OSP, a sufficient condition to ensure the output consensus of the MAS is obtained. At last, a numerical simulation is given to substantiate the merits of the obtained theoretical results.
