This study introduces an event-triggered protocol using stochastic sampling to achieve leader-follower consensus in semi-Markov jump multi-agent systems, reducing communication and control costs.
Area of Science:
- Control Systems Engineering
- Networked Systems
- Stochastic Processes
Background:
- Multi-agent systems (MAS) are crucial for distributed tasks.
- Achieving consensus (agreement) in MAS is a fundamental challenge.
- Semi-Markov jump systems introduce state-dependent transition probabilities, adding complexity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an efficient consensus protocol for semi-Markov jump multi-agent systems.
- To reduce communication and control update burdens.
- To ensure leader-follower mean square consensus under event-triggered conditions.
Main Methods:
- Proposed an event-triggered control protocol.
- Utilized stochastic sampling with randomly switching intervals.
- Designed an event-triggered function dependent on sampled neighbor data.
- Derived sufficient conditions for mean square consensus.
Main Results:
- The proposed event-triggered protocol effectively achieves leader-follower mean square consensus.
- Stochastic sampling and event-triggering significantly reduce communication and control loads.
- Theoretical conditions for consensus were mathematically established.
Conclusions:
- The novel event-triggered strategy is effective for consensus in complex semi-Markov jump MAS.
- This approach offers a practical solution for resource-constrained networked systems.
- Numerical simulations validated the theoretical findings and protocol efficiency.

Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
