A novel finite-time average consensus protocol based on event-triggered nonlinear control strategy for multiagent systems

Abstract

We present a novel finite-time average consensus protocol based on event-triggered control strategy for multiagent systems. The system stability is proved. The lower bound of the interevent time is obtained to guarantee that there is no Zeno behavior. Moreover, the upper bound of the convergence time is obtained. The relationship between the convergence time and protocol parameter with initial state is analyzed. Lastly, simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the results.
