Abstract
This article considers the leader-following consensus problem of multiagent systems subject to unbounded distributed communication delays under the condition that only the neighboring agents of the leader have access to the information on both the system matrix and the state of the leader. A novel adaptive distributed observer is proposed to estimate both the system matrix and the state of the leader under unbounded distributed communication delays, without requiring that the information of the unbounded delays is known a priori. A key technical result is first established, and a novel distributed controller is then developed based on the proposed distributed observer. It is shown that the resulting closed-loop system achieves the desired consensus. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is validated by two simulation examples.
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.
