Distributed tracking control problem of Lipschitz multi-agent systems with external disturbances and input delay

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the distributed tracking control problem for Lipschitz nonlinear multiagent systems (LNMASs) in the presence of external disturbances and input delay. For this end, a distributed tracking control algorithm is proposed for LNMASs that guarantee each agent can estimate and track a nonlinear target. The suggested algorithm is developed based on a future state predictor and a finite time estimator to cope with the tracking control problem for LNMASs with input delay and external disturbances. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed algorithms is illustrated by simulation results.
