Abstract

This brief focuses on the dynamic weighted average consensus problem and aims to achieve accurate tracking of the weighted average of all the time-varying reference signals in a network. We first propose a robust dynamic weighted average consensus (RDWAC) algorithm that employs a simple fixed control gain and introduces an individual weight for each agent compared with recent works. Furthermore, a theoretical finite-time convergence analysis instead of an asymptotic one is provided by constructing a novel Lyapunov function, which shows that the accurate weighted average consensus can be reached exponentially within a finite time interval. In addition, the lower bound of the required convergence time is given and the relationship between the lower bound and the initial steady-state error and control parameters is established explicitly. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
