Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Group Consensus of Fractional Multiagent Systems Under Fixed and Switching
Abstract:
The group consensus problem for fractional-order multiagent systems is investigated in this paper. With the help of double-tree-form transformations, the group consensus problem of fractional-order multiagent systems is proved to be equivalent to the asymptotical stability problem of reduced-order error systems. A class of distributed control protocols and some simple LMI sufficient conditions as well as necessary and sufficient conditions are proposed in this paper to solve the group consensus problem for fractional multiagent systems. Moreover, pinning control strategy has been taken into consideration. It is shown that the system converges more rapidly when the designed pinning protocols are adopted. In addition, the case of fractional system with switching topologies is also discussed and some corresponding sufficient conditions are obtained. Finally, some simulation results are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

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...
