Abstract:
The time-varying formation problem of singular multi-agent systems under sampled data with multiple leaders is investigated in this paper. Firstly, a data-sampled time-varying formation control protocol is proposed in the current study where the communication among followers merely occurred at sampling instants, which can save the controller communication energy significantly. Secondly, necessary and sufficient conditions for the feasibility of the formation function are provided. In addition, an approach is presented to design the formation tracking control under sampled data with multiple leaders. Finally, numerical simulations validate the efficacy of the theoretical results.

Sampling Plans
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...
Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
