Abstract

In this article, the finite-time consensus problem is investigated for a group of heterogeneous nonlinear multiagent systems with input delays. Different from the existing results, input delays are assumed to be nonidentical and time-varying. To overcome the difficulty of nonidentical input delays, a novel compensation mechanism is introduced. Moreover, in order to save communication resources, a distributed finite-time self-triggered observer is constructed. By employing the observer and the dynamic surface control strategy, the finite-time adaptive neural control protocol is proposed. It is proved that not only the followers’ outputs can be synchronized with the leader in finite time, but also continuous communication among followers is avoided. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed control strategy.
