Fixed-Time Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems

  • 805 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter, we first introduce some underlying concepts of cooperative control. Then, we briefly review how fixed-time cooperative control is motivated and promoted in the control community. Moreover, we present some related work of distributed optimization and network connectivity. Furthermore, we summarize future research topics. Finally, we give a brief outline of the monograph.
