Stubborn Observer for Leader-Following Consensus of Nonlinear Multiagent Systems With Application to Spacecraft
Abstract:
In this article, the leader-following consensus problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems with transmission outliers. First, through the relative output information and observer states of neighbor agents, a distributed stubborn reduced-order observer is proposed to estimate the leader-following consensus error which is affected by abnormal and isolated transmission outliers. Moreover, considering that the leader agent in practice is a controllable plant, another distributed stubborn reduced-order observer is designed by using the relative information and inputs of neighbor agents. Sufficient conditions are established in terms of the Laplacian matrix such that two stubborn reduced-order observers are convergent and the studied nonlinear multiagent system could achieve leader-following consensus with directed topology. Finally, an example of the multispacecraft system is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

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...
