Consensus Analysis for a Class of Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems in Directed Graph

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigates the consensus problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems in directed graph. The system includes first-order and second-order agents. A linear consensus protocol is proposed for solving such a consensus problem. A sufficient condition for the consensus problem is established by applying graph theory and matrix theory. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.
