Abstract:
This article considers the problem of finite-time consensus for nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs), where the nonlinear dynamics are completely unknown and the output saturation exists. First, the mapping relationship between the output of each agent at the terminal time and the control input is established along the iteration domain. By using the terminal iterative learning control method, two novel distributed data-driven consensus protocols are proposed depending on the input and output saturated data of agents and its neighbors. Then, the convergence conditions independent of agents' dynamics are developed for the MASs with fixed communication topology. It is shown that the proposed data-driven protocol can guarantee the system to achieve two different finite-time consensus objectives. Meanwhile, the design is also extended to the case of switching topologies. Finally, the effectiveness of the data-driven protocol is validated by a simulation example.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...
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...
