This paper deals with the distributed consensus of networked linear agents via event-driven communications by exploring relative-state and relative-output feedbacks. First, an alternative event-triggered consensus design is proposed, consisting of a distributed controller with the relative-state feedback and an event-based communication policy, both of which can avoid employing the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix. Under the proposed scheme, it is proved that the residual consensus error is bounded, which is dependent on the agent number, the deviation constant in the threshold function, and the associated algebraic Riccati equation. Next, the design is extended to the case of the output event-driven consensus control by using local observers.

通过事件触发通信对网络线性代理进行分布式共识控制

本文通过探索相对状态和相对输出反馈，通过事件驱动的通信处理网络线性代理的分布式共识。首先，提出了一种替代的事件触发共识设计，由具有相对状态反馈的分布式控制器和基于事件的通信策略组成，两者都可以避免使用拉普拉斯矩阵的特征值。在所提出的方案下，证明了剩余一致性误差是有界的，它取决于代理数量、阈值函数中的偏差常数以及相关的代数 Riccati 方程。接下来，将设计扩展到使用本地观察者的输出事件驱动共识控制的情况。
