Abstract
This article presents a new framework for the controllability of the second-order multiagent systems under fixed and switching topologies. With the neighbor-based protocol adopted, the multiagent systems under fixed topology are transformed into a second-order time-invariant system. The solution of the system is obtained by using the Wronskian technique and a series of criteria for the controllability of the system are established. For the multiagent systems under switching topologies, a second-order switched system is obtained by applying the time-varying protocol. An explicit solution of the system is presented by constructing a new nested function and a Gramian-type criterion on the controllability of the system is established. On this basis, a new nested subspace is constructed, which turns out to be equivalent to the controllable state set of the system. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems is committed to the timely publication of high-impact papers at the intersection of control systems and network science. In particular, the journal addresses research on the analysis, design and implementation of networked control systems, as well as control over networks. Relevant work includes the full spectrum from basic research on control systems to the design of engineering solutions for automatic control of, and over, networks. The topics covered by this journal include: Coordinated control and estimation over networks, Control and computation over sensor networks, Control under communication constraints, Control and performance analysis issues that arise in the dynamics of networks used in application areas such as communications, computers, transportation, manufacturing, Web ranking and aggregation, social networks, biology, power systems, economics, Synchronization of activities across a controlled network, Stability analysis of controlled networks, Analysis of networks as hybrid dynamical systems.
