New Protocols on Group Consensus of Continuous-Time Multi-agent Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a kind of new protocols on group consensus in which communication weights of topology graph are all non-negative. This is also different with general group consensus protocols. Necessary and sufficient conditions which group consensus under these protocols can reach are obtained for the first, second and high order continuous-time multi-agent system. Finally, numerical examples are used to illustrate our theoretical results.
