Output regulation of asynchronously switched multi-agent systems by adaptive observer-based control

摘要

The cooperative output regulation problem of asynchronously switched multi-agent systems (MASs) is investigated in this paper. To remove the requirement of the knowledge of minimal nonzero eigenvalue of Laplacian matrix for global communication topology, a novel adaptive switched control law based on output feedback is presented, in which the switching instants is different from that of systems. It is shown that under the proposed adaptive switched control law and switching law, the cooperative output regulation of asynchronously switched MASs can be achieved. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of proposed novel adaptive switched controller.
