Abstract:
This paper describes consensus control of multi-agent systems (MAS) with input and communication delay in the frequency domain. Each agent of MAS is a linear continuous-time system. The considered linear dynamic model of each agent involves multiple input delays. An H2 controller is proposed for optimal performance and robustness of the MAS. The internal stability approach is employed to compute the H2 controller and the performance index of the overall MAS. A sufficient criterion is derived for gain and delay margin to reach convergence. The simulation paradigm shows the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

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...
