Cooperative output regulation of linear multi-agent systems by output feedback under intermittent communication topology

In this paper, the cooperative output regulation of linear multi-agent systems by output feedback under aperiodic intermittent communication topology is studied. Firstly, the distributed dynamic measurement output feedback control laws are designed by the relative local intermittent information. A lemma for the switching output regulation system is obtained. And some sufficient conditions are derived for the cooperative output regulation under a directed intermittent communication topology. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the efficacy of the analytic results.
