Containment Control for Discrete-Time Multiagent Systems With Communication Delays and Switching Topologies
Abstract:
This paper studies a containment problem with communication delays and switching topologies. A nonlinear projection containment control algorithm for followers with single-integrator discrete-time dynamics is proposed. The main approach is to use the convexity of the convex hull spanned by multiple stationary leaders to show the nonincreasing monotonicity of the largest distance from the agents to the convex hull. It is shown that the nonlinear projection containment control algorithm is robust to arbitrarily bounded communication delays as long as each follower jointly has a path from some leaders to itself. Finally, a numerical example is implemented to show the obtained theoretical results.
