Leader-following consensus of fractional nonlinear multiagent systems

Abstract

The leader-following consensus of fractional nonlinear multiagent systems is investigated over an undirected fixed interaction graph. Mittag-Leffler stability and the fractional Lyapunov direct method are firstly introduced into the fractional multiagent systems. The sufficient conditions are given to guarantee that the leader-following consensus can be achieved in the systems with both single-integrator dynamics and double-integrator dynamics. Finally, the numerical simulations are given to verify the correctness of the presented theory.
