Bipartite consensus of multi-agent systems with matched uncertainty via fully distributed edge-based event-triggered mechanism

The leader-following bipartite consensus of multi-agent systems (MASs) with matched uncertainty is investigated by using the fully distributed asynchronous edge-based event-triggered mechanism. Firstly, event-triggered mechanisms are constructed for each edge and the leader to decrease the consumption of system resources. The state feedback and output feedback control protocols are proposed, which do not depend on the global values of the communication graph. Secondly, sufficient conditions for the bipartite consensus of MASs are obtained by Lyapunov stability theory. Thirdly, the feasibility of the proposed event-triggered mechanisms is further verified by exclusion of Zeno phenomenon. Finally, the effectiveness of control protocol is illustrated by simulation.& COPY; 2023 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

This paper investigates the leader-following bipartite consensus of multi-agent systems (MASs) with matched uncertainty using the fully distributed asynchronous edge-based event-triggered mechanism. Event-triggered mechanisms are constructed for each edge and the leader to decrease the consumption of system resources. Sufficient conditions for the bipartite consensus of MASs are obtained using Lyapunov stability theory, and the feasibility of the proposed event-triggered mechanisms is further verified by excluding the Zeno phenomenon. The effectiveness of the control protocol is illustrated through simulation.
