Consensus stability analysis for stochastic multi-agent systems with multiplicative measurement noises and Markovian switching topologies

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We investigate the consensus stability for linear stochastic multi-agent systems with multiplicative noises and Markovian random graphs and investigate the asymptotic consensus in the mean square sense for the systems. To establish the consensus stability for the systems, we analysis the consensus error systems by developing general stochastic differential equation with jumps, matrix theory and algebraic graph theory, and then show that the error consensus in the mean square sense finally tending to zero as time goes on is determined by the strongly connected property of union of topologies. Finally, we provide an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.</p>
