Consensus Tracking Control of Switched Stochastic Nonlinear Multiagent Systems via Event-Triggered Strategy.

Abstract

In this paper, the consensus tracking problem is investigated for a class of continuous switched stochastic nonlinear multiagent systems with an event-triggered control strategy. For continuous stochastic multiagent systems via event-triggered protocols, it is rather difficult to avoid the Zeno behavior by the existing methods. Thus, we propose a new protocol design framework for the underlying systems. It is proven that follower agents can almost surely track the given leader signal with bounded errors and no agent exhibits the Zeno behavior by the given control scheme. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the new design techniques.
