Uniform synchronization in multi-agent systems with switching topologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with uniform synchronization analysis of multi-agent systems with switching topologies. The agents are assumed to have general, yet identical, linear dynamics. The underlying communication topology may switch arbitrarily within a finite set of admissible topologies. We establish conditions under which the network is uniformly synchronized meaning that synchronization is valid under all possible switching scenarios. The primary conditions established are in terms of a pair of Lyapunov strict inequalities. Following those conditions, small gain and passivity types of conditions are proposed under which uniform synchronization is guaranteed. The proposed results are also extended to the case of observer-based protocols. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synchronization Analysis of Multi-agent Systems with Switching Topologies
EXTENDED ABSTRACT. The distributed control of multi-agent systems has gained lots of attention during the last decade. In particular, consensus problem has been widely investigated for networks of agents. Consensus roughly means that the agents of a network reach an agreement on the state components’ values. The pioneering works in this regard have been carried out for the case where the agents...
متن کاملDistributed H∞ optimal control of networked uncertain nonlinear Euler-Lagrange systems with switching communication network topologies
This paper is concerned with the design of distributed state synchronization and trajectory tracking control laws for nonlinear Euler-Lagrange (EL) systems in presence of parameter uncertainty and external disturbances with fixed and switching communication network topologies. Specifically, H∞ optimal control techniques are employed to formally design controllers which address the state synchro...
متن کاملGraph-theoretic characterisations of structural controllability for multi-agent system with switching topologyy
This article considers the controllability problem for multi-agent systems. In particular, the structural controllability of multi-agent systems under switching topologies is investigated. The structural controllability of multi-agent systems is a generalisation of the traditional controllability concept for dynamical systems, and purely based on the communication topologies among agents. The m...
متن کاملSynchronization of coupled harmonic oscillators with local interaction
This paper studies synchronization of coupled second-order linear harmonic oscillators with local interaction.We analyze convergence conditions over, respectively, directed fixed and switching network topologies by using tools from algebraic graph theory,matrix theory, and nonsmooth analysis. It is shown that the coupled harmonic oscillators can be synchronized under mild network connectivity c...
متن کاملDistributed Consensus of Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems on State-Controlled Switching Topologies
This paper considers the consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems under switching directed topologies. Specifically, the dynamics of each agent incorporates an intrinsic nonlinear term and the interaction topology may not contain a spanning tree at any time. By designing a state-controlled switching law, we show that the multi-agent system with the neighbor-based protocol can achieve ...
