Bipartite Finite Time and Fixed Time Output Consensus of Heterogeneous Multiagent Systems Under State Feedback Control

In this brief, the bipartite output consensus problem is solved for heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems (HL-MASs) with cooperative and antagonistic interactions. A signed graph is employed to describe the relationships among agents. Firstly, based on output regulation approach, a finite time output consensus is considered for MASs with various dynamics. Then, fixed time output consensus protocol is further designed under the state compensator for HL-MASs with signed graph. Finally, two numerical simulations are given to prove the reasonability of the theoretical results.

Automated summary

This brief addresses the bipartite output consensus problem for heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems with cooperative and antagonistic interactions, utilizing a signed graph to represent the relationships among agents. It introduces finite time output consensus using an output regulation approach for MASs with different dynamics, and further proposes a fixed time output consensus protocol for HL-MASs with signed graph under the state compensator. Two numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical results.
