Consensus Control for Multi-agent Systems with a Faulty Node

摘要

This paper studies consensus control for a multi-agent system with a faulty node. The node dynamics follow a continuous-time consensus protocol with negative feedback from the relative state of the neighbors, where the faulty node is instead using positive feedback from the state. Conditions for reaching consensus are established, and a fault threshold is introduced. Numerical examples investigate how the fault threshold determines the system behavior.
