Abstract
Partial state consensus (PSC) is investigated for chain interconnected systems with time-varying delays and parameter uncertainties. A novel design philosophy of PSC control is proposed and a sequential calculation method is presented to guarantee the robustness of the controller. A sufficient condition based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is derived and the stability is proven by the Lyapunov method. The proposed approach can ensure that the states which are subject to a consensus constraint achieve consensus, while those without a consensus constraint track their own set points. Finally, numerical simulations and a solution proportioning experiment are developed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
