Controllability of Second Order Leader-Follower Systems ?

چکیده
In this paper we study formation control of a network of communicating mobile agents with double integrator dynamics. All agents run a consensus algorithm, several leader agents are further subject to an external input. We put this problem in a control theoretical framework and show that the controllability of the entire system via external control input depends only on the controllability of the follower system through the leaders. We then show necessary and sufficient conditions for the follower system to be controllable and relate the obtained conditions to the existing results on topological properties of the follower communication graph.

Optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear multi-agent systems: Known and unknown dynamics
In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...
متن کاملA Controllability Synthesis Problem for Dynamic Multi-Agent Systems with Linear High-Order Protocol
In this paper, a problem on controllability synthesis for dynamic multi-agent systems with high-order linear protocol is addressed. A particular scenario is considered, in which a given system should be adjusted to be controllable by the input information upon the created leaders, with optional communication links from the leaders to each follower vertex in the graph. It is shown that a single ...
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 کاملControllability of multi-agent systems with time-delay in state and switching topology
In this article, the controllability issue is addressed for an interconnected system of multiple agents. The network associated with the system is of the leader–follower structure with some agents taking leader role and others being followers interconnected via the neighbour-based rule. Sufficient conditions are derived for the controllability of multi-agent systems with time-delay in state, as...
متن کاملA decentralized multi-level leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain
This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...
