Consensus of Hybrid Multi-Agent System Based on Broadcast Event-Triggered Method

Abstract

In this paper, the consensus issue of hybrid multiagent systems including discrete time dynamics agents and continuous time dynamics agents is studied. An event triggering mechanism based on broadcast communication is introduced into hybrid multi-agent systems. Compared with the existing work, this event-triggering method can further reduce the communication times between agents while avoiding Zeno behavior and reducing control update. In order to make this event-triggering method applicable to hybrid multi-agent systems, especially discrete time dynamics agents, the definition of hybrid combined measurement and its error is updated in this case. Then we apply simulation experiments to confirm the validity of this event triggering method.
