Distributed Consensus Seeking With Different Convergence Performance Requirements: A Unified Control Framework
Abstract:
In this article, we investigate distributed consensus seeking with multiple convergence performance requirements for single-integrator multiagent systems under undirected graphs. A unified distributed control framework is proposed to ensure consensus or practical consensus as well as performance time requirements, which contains most existing complex protocol schemes as special cases. In the proposed framework, three functions with specific properties in the controller play different roles and can be freely designed to achieve desired convergence performances, which guarantee a high-level scalability for multiple control requirements in addition to convergence time. For highlighting the compatibility and flexibility of the proposed method, four typical scenarios are discussed to reach exponential, finite-time, fixed-time, and appointed-time consensus seeking, respectively. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.

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...
