Description
Summary:This paper investigates couple-group consensus problems for multiagent first-order and second-order systems. Several consensus protocols are proposed based on the time-dependent distributed event-triggered control. For the case of no communication delays, the time-dependent event-triggered strategies are applied to couple-group consensus problems. Based on the matrix theory, algebraic conditions for couple-group consensus are established. For the system with communication delays, based on event-triggered strategies, a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed to prove the input-to-state stability of the systems. Moreover, Zeno behavior is excluded. Finally, numeral examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of these results.
