Leader-follower tracking control design has received significant attention in recent years due to its important and wide applications. Considering a multi-agent system composed of a leader and multiple followers, this paper proposes and…
Limited information availability represents a fundamental challenge for control of multi-agent systems, since an agent often lacks sensing capabilities to measure certain states of its own and can exchange data only with its neighbors. The…
In many multi-agent systems of practical interest, such as traffic networks or crowd evacuation, control actions cannot be exerted on all agents. Instead, controllable leaders must indirectly steer uncontrolled followers through local…

This paper addresses the problem of consensus tracking with fixed-time convergence, for leader-follower multi-agent systems with double-integrator dynamics, where only a subset of followers has access to the state of the leader. The control…
We address the problem of controlling the density of a large ensemble of follower agents by acting on a group of leader agents that interact with them. Using coupled partial integro-differential equations to describe leader and follower…
