Robust consensus of fractional-order multi-agent systems with input saturation and external disturbances

摘要

In this paper, the robust consensus problem of fractional-order multi-agent systems with input saturation and external disturbances is studied under a directed fixed topology. It's the first time to consider the fractional-order agent subject to input saturation. When there exist input saturation and external disturbances simultaneously, by means of the Mittag-Leffler stability theorem and low gain feedback technique, a control protocol is presented to guarantee the robust consensus can be achieved. Moreover, as a special case, the leader-following consensus can be achieved when there only exists input saturation. Finally, the results are verified by several simulation examples.
