Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of positive consensus of directed multi-agent systems with observer-type output-feedback protocols. More specifically, directed graph is used to model the communication topology of the multi-agent system and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are used in the consensus analysis in this paper. Using positive systems theory and graph theory, a convex programming algorithm is developed to design appropriate protocols such that the multi-agent system is able to reach consensus with its state trajectory always remaining in the non-negative orthant. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived theoretical results.
