Distributed robust H∞ consensus control of multiagent systems with communication errors using dynamic output feedback protocol

Abstract

This paper studies robust consensus problem for multiagent systems modeled by an identical linear time-invariant system under a fixed communication topology. Communication errors in the transferred data are considered, and only the relative output information between each agent and its neighbors is available. A distributed dynamic output feedback protocol is proposed, and sufficient conditions for reaching consensus with a prescribed H∞ performance are presented. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results. © 2013 Xi Yang and Jinzhi Wang.
