Observer-Based Consensus Strategy for Linear Multi-Agent Systems Under Double Event-Triggering Conditions

In this paper, an observer-based event-triggered consensus control (OETCC) strategy is proposed for linear multiagent systems (MASs) under strongly connected network. Two event-triggering conditions (ETCs) are designed to trigger information transmitting and control update separately so that continuously applying these tasks is avoided. In addition, the triggering times for both tasks are unnecessarily to be the same. Since the triggering time for control input update is predictable, continuously monitoring the related ETC can be avoided. It is proved that under the proposed strategy, consensus can be achieved exponentially. Its effectiveness is also verified by a numerical example.
