Consensus Tracking for Heterogeneous Interdependent Group Systems
Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem for heterogeneous interdependent group systems with fixed communication topologies. First, the interdependent model of the heterogeneous system is built from the perspective of the difference of the individual characteristic and the difference of the subgroup topology structure. A class of distributed consensus tracking control protocol is proposed for realizing the consensus tracking of the heterogeneous interdependent group system via using local information. Then, for fixed communication topologies, some corresponding sufficient conditions are given to ensure the achievement of the consensus tracking. Two parameters are defined, which denote, respectively, the proportion of interdependence individual and the redundancy of interdependence. The effects of these parameters are analyzed on the consensus tracking of group systems. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
