Event-triggered consensus control for second-order multi-agent systems based on the iterative predictive control scheme

Abstract

In this paper, based on the iterative predictive control scheme, a novel event-triggered control strategy is proposed to achieve consensus for a second-order multi-agent system under an undirected topology. The protocol can increase the rate of convergence, and improved event-triggered functions are designed to decrease the trigger frequency. Then some sufficient conditions are derived to achieve the consensus of the system. Finally, simulations are presented to illustrate the validity of the theoretical results.
