Abstract
In this article, the consensus problem of multiagent systems (MASs) affected by input and communication delays is investigated. A predictor-based state feedback protocol is used to reach the consensus of linear MASs by delay compensation. In order to analyze the maximum delay under the predictor-based protocol, the overall MASs are equivalent to the feedback interconnection system, including a linear time-invariant system and a time-delay operator, in view of the characteristic of the Laplacian matrix. Then, the maximum delay corresponding to the predictor-based protocol is evaluated by using the small gain theorem (SGT). Finally, two numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the obtained consensus condition.
