Adaptive Observer-Based Output Regulation of Multiagent Systems With Communication Constraints

In the absence of assuming that all agents know the system matrix of the external system, for heterogeneous linear multiagent systems (MASs), this article resolves the cooperative regulation problem in the presence of communication constraints. Based on the mild assumption on the digraph, two novel adaptive protocols are presented to solve the cooperative output regulation problem (ORP) via state feedback and measurement output feedback subject to snatchy and asynchronous information exchange between agents, unknown time-varying delays, and probable information losses. Finally, some simulations are offered to demonstrate the validity of our results about the problem.

Automated summary

This article addresses the cooperative regulation problem for heterogeneous linear multiagent systems, presenting two novel adaptive protocols to solve the cooperative output regulation problem. These protocols take into account communication constraints, snatchy and asynchronous information exchange between agents, unknown time-varying delays, and probable information losses. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.
