Adaptive bipartite output consensus for heterogeneous multi-agent systems with quantized information: A fixed-time approach

This paper researches the output consensus problem of heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems with cooperative and antagonistic interactions. Two fixed-time state compensator control approaches, one static dynamic and the other distributed adaptive dynamic, are considered for heterogeneous systems subject to logarithmic quantization. Then, a fixed-time output regulation control protocol is constructed to cope with the problem of bipartite output consensus and adaptive fixed-time output consensus of heterogeneous systems which is fully distributed without any global information. Besides, the fully distributed adaptive algorithm is employed to calculate the system matrix of leader and it's also effectively eliminated the harmful chattering. Finally, two simulations are carried out to testify the feasibility of theoretical results. (C) 2021 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
