Distributed Event-Triggered Quantized Fault-Tolerant Control of Linear Multiagent Systems With External Disturbances...

In this article, the issue of fault-tolerant leader-following consensus under a distributed dynamic event-triggered mechanism is addressed for linear multiagent systems (MASs) in the presence of unknown parameter uncertainties, external disturbances, and actuator faults, including loss of effectiveness and bias, in which the mechanism is with quantized state measurements. Due to the fact that information is transmitted via a bandwidth-limited communication network, a quantized control scheme with a uniform quantizer is introduced for leader-following consensus. In order to decrease the communication load and save the limited communication network resources, a distributed event-triggered mechanism is studied for leader-following consensus problem of linear MASs with quantized state measurements. In the presence of actuator faults, external disturbances, and unknown parameter uncertainties, an adaptive coupling gain for the controller is presented. Based on the Lyapunov function approach, the stability of the closed-loop system and the convergence of consensus errors are proved. Furthermore, the Zeno behavior is excluded for the triggering time sequences. Finally, simulation studies are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed event-triggered fault-tolerant control scheme.
