Event-triggered consensus control for linear multi-agent systems using output feedback

Abstract

This paper studies the event-triggered consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics. To be specific, an observer-based event-triggered control protocol is proposed using the local output feedback information. It is proved that the multi-agent system reaches consensus under the proposed protocol, and the gain matrices of the protocol can be determined by solving a group of LMIs. In the end, a simulation example is given to verify the theoretical results.
