Output regulation of state-coupled linear multi-agent systems with globally reachable topologies

Abstract

This paper investigates output regulation problem of state-coupled linear certain and uncertain multi-agent systems with globally reachable topologies. Distributed dynamic state feedback control law is introduced to realize the regulator problem and a general global method for error regulation is established. The Jordan canonical form is used to stabilize the closed-loop control system. Sylvester equation and internal model theory are adopted to achieve the objectives of output regulation for every initial condition in the state space. Finally, numerical simulations are utilized to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.
