Observer-based event-triggered finite-time consensus for general linear leader-follower multi-agent systems

Abstract In this study, the event-triggered finite-time consensus problem of a class general linear leader-follower multi-agent systems with unmeasurable states is investigated. First, an observer-based distributed strategy proposed in view introducing external dynamic threshold that independent state variables. Second, Lyapunov method and are implemented as control scheme to ensure tracking error can converge origin within finite time under given conditions. Analytical findings indicate Zeno behavior be avoided by selecting appropriate parameters. Finally, numerical simulation implemented, results verify effectiveness method.
