Iterative Learning Control of Consensus Problems in Nonlinear Multi-agent Systems with Communication Disturbance

Abstract

This paper considers the consensus problem of two class of multi-agent systems with communication disturbance by using iterative learning control(ILC) method and both of them has a fixed information topology with a spanning tree. Firstly, a distributed iterative learning-based control protocol is designed for a time-varying linear multi-agent system, a sufficient condition is obtained such that the consensus problem is solved. By the same way, a sufficient condition is also given for a class of nonlinear time-varying multi-agent systems to solve consensus problem. The main contribution of the proposed results is that they can restrain any type of repetitive disturbance. The validity of them is verified by the simulation results.
