Aperiodic Control Strategy for Multi-agent Systems with Time-Varying Delays

Abstract

This note discusses event-triggered strategies for the multi-agent systems(MAS) with time-varying delays. Each agent’s state information will be broadcasted to its neighbors when the error exceeds the threshold which is called “event-triggered”. And we develop two kinds of the event trigger functions, one uses its neighbors’ and its own information, and the other one only need its own information. The linear matrix inequality (LMI) is used to ensure the consistency of the MAS. An example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our event-triggered strategies.
