Event-Triggered Control for Consensus of Multi-Agent Systems with Nonlinear Output and Directed Topologies
It addresses the consensus problem for multi-agent systems with nonlinear output, which is relevant for control theory, but the results are theoretical and incremental.
The paper proposes a distributed event-triggered control law for consensus in multi-agent systems with nonlinear output under directed topologies, providing sufficient conditions for consensus and extending results to graphs with a spanning tree.
We propose a distributed event-triggered control law to solve the consensus problem for multi-agent systems with nonlinear output. Under the condition that the underlying digraph is strongly connected, we propose some sufficient conditions related to the nonlinear output function and initial states to guarantee that the event-triggered controller realizes consensus. Then the results are extended to the case where the underlying directed graph contains a directed spanning tree. These theoretical results are illustrated by numerical simulations.
