Abstract:
In this paper, we investigated the finite-time consensus tracking problem for multi-agent systems with external bounded disturbances and input bounded disturbances and unknown velocities. Based on the Lyapunov finite-time theorem, a novel finite-time consensus control is constructed by using the backstepping method. For unknown velocities, the high-gain observer is used to estimate the velocity information. It is proved that the consensus can be achieved in finite time. The consensus shows fast response and strong robustness to various disturbances. Finally, the effectiveness of the results is illustrated by numerical simulations.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
