Consensus of Second-Order Multiagent Systems with Fixed Topology and Time-Delay

We are concerned with the consensus problems for networks of second-order agents, where each agent can only access the relative position information from its neighbours. We aim to find the largest tolerable input delay such that the system consensus can be reached. We introduce a protocol with time-...
