Containment Control of Second-Order Multi-Agent Systems in a Sampled-Data Setting
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In this paper, we study the containment control issue of second-order multi-agent systems in a sampled-data setting under the assumption that only the sampled position information can be measured. The communication topology graph between the leaders and followers is assumed to be directed, while the topology among the followers is assumed to be undirected. Necessary and sufficient containment control criteria for multi-agent systems with periodic sampling are first established, where we present the specific range size of parameters and the relationship among the eigenvalues of Laplacian matrix, sampling interval, and scaling parameter. Then we extend our results to multi-agent systems with non-periodic sampling interval. Finally, experimental results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
