Dynamic Event-Triggered Consensus of Multi-agent Systems on Matrix-weighted Networks
share
This paper examines event-triggered consensus of multi-agent systems on matrix-weighted networks, where the interdependencies among higher-dimensional states of neighboring agents are characterized by matrix-weighted edges in the network. Specifically, a distributed dynamic event-triggered coordination strategy is proposed for this category of generalized networks, in which an auxiliary system is employed for each agent to dynamically adjust the trigger threshold, which plays an essential role in guaranteeing that the triggering time sequence does not exhibit Zeno behavior. Distributed event-triggered control protocols are proposed to guarantee leaderless and leader-follower consensus for multi-agent systems on matrix-weighted networks, respectively. It is shown that that the spectral properties of matrix-valued weights are crucial in event-triggered mechanism design for matrix-weighted networks. Finally, simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the theoretical results.
