Distributed Adaptive Consensus Protocols for Linear Multi-agent Systems with Directed Graphs and External Disturbances
Abstract
This paper addresses the distributed consensus design problem for linear multi-agent systems with directed communication graphs and external disturbances. Both the cases with strongly connected communication graphs and leader-follower graphs containing a directed spanning tree with the leader as the root are discussed. Distributed adaptive consensus protocols based on the relative states of neighboring agents are designed, which can ensure the ultimate boundedness of the consensus error and adaptive gains in the presence of external disturbances. The upper bounds of the consensus error are further explicitly given. Compared to the existing consensus protocols, the merit of the adaptive protocols proposed in this paper is that they can be computed and implemented in a fully distributed fashion and meanwhile are robust with respect to external disturbances.
