Abstract
AbstractBecause many networked systems can only be characterized with fractional-order dynamics in complex environments, fractional-order calculus has been studied deeply recently. When diverse individual features are shown in different agents of networked systems, heterogeneous fractional-order dynamics will be used to describe the complex systems. Based on the distinguishing properties of agents, heterogeneous fractional-order multi-agent systems (FOMAS) are presented. With the supposition of multiple leader agents in FOMAS, distributed containment control of FOMAS is studied in directed weighted topologies. By applying Laplace transformation and frequency domain theory of the fractional-order operator, an upper bound of delays is obtained to ensure containment consensus of delayed heterogenous FOMAS. Consensus results of delayed FOMAS in this paper can be extended to systems with integer-order models. Finally, numerical examples are used to verify our results.
