Controllability refers to a situation in which a Multi-agent System may be steered from one state to another using specified rules. As a result, there is belief in achieving a given condition by explicit advances. The level of dynamism in…
The paper considers event-triggered leader-follower tracking control for multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics. For both undirected and directed follower graphs, we propose event triggering rules which guarantee bounded tracking…
State-dependent networked dynamical systems are ones where the interconnections between agents change as a function of the states of the agents. Such systems are highly nonlinear, and a cohesive strategy for their control is lacking in the…
