Semi-global containment of discrete-time high-order multi-agent systems with input saturation via intermittent control

摘要

This study investigates the intermittent semi-global containment of discrete-time high-order multi-agent systems with input saturation. The intermittent semi-global containment protocol is proposed based on discrete-time low-gain state feedback control. Some containment conditions are obtained, and the convergence analysis is given. It is turned out that all the followers beginning from a bounded initial set will asymptotically enter into the convex hull spanned by the leaders under the proposed protocol. Moveover, intermittent semi-global leader-following consensus with input saturation is considered as a special case, and the corresponding result is introduced. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the theoretical findings.
