Abstract

In this note we investigate the problem of global exponential synchronization of multi-agent systems described by nonlinear input affine dynamics. We consider the case of networks described by undirected connected graphs possibly without leader. We present a set of sufficient conditions based on a Riemannian metric approach in order to design a state-feedback distributed control law. Then, we study the convergence properties of the overall network. By exploiting the properties of the edge Laplacian we construct a Lyapunov function that allows to conclude global exponential synchronization of the overall network.
