Observer-based output feedback distributed event-triggered control for linear multi-agent systems under general directed graphs

Abstract

This paper studies the consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics under a general directed graph. We propose two observer-based output feedback event-triggered control schemes with the novel triggering condition to solve the problem. It is shown that the consensus of the controlled multi-agent system can be achieved asymptotically. The feasibility of the proposed control scheme is further verified by excluding Zeno behavior for each agent. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
