Scaled consensus of multi-agent systems with output saturation

摘要

This paper studies a scaled consensus problem with output saturation in the sense that the states of agents reach assigned proportions rather than a common consensus value. Specifically, we investigate single-integrator agents with output saturation under both undirected and strongly connected graphs. Some conditions for single-integrator agents with output saturation are illustrated. The main contribution is that by employing an integral Lyapunov function, a necessary and sufficient condition is first obtained to reach scaled consensus among agents with output saturation. Simulation results are presented to show the performance of the scaled consensus. (C) 2017 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
