Consensus Analysis of Nonlinear Dynamical Multi-Agent Systems by Relative Lyapunov Function Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this note, condition for consensus of general nonlinear high-order multi-agent systems is analyzed based on the idea of space transformation. Consensus can be assured by sufficient connection of network and the dissipative property of the entire system regulated by relative Lyapunov function, with two independent variables.
