Observer-Based Tracking Control for Linear Switched Multiagent Systems with a Leader of Nonzero Inputs

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, the tracking control problem is investigated for linear switched multiagent systems under directed switching topologies, where the leader is subject to some nonzero but norm bounded inputs. The observer-based event-triggered control schemes will be considered. With the proposed schemes, the control task is carried out only when the triggering condition is met. That leads to changing interexecution intervals and can further reduce the system resource costs to a certain extent. Based on the graph theory and the Lyapunov function method, by adopting the average dwell time method, some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the tracking control of the linear switched multiagent systems under arbitrary switching topologies. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.KeywordsEvent-triggering schemeSwitched multiagent systemsTracking controlAverage dwell time
