Cooperative output regulation of multi-agent systems with stochastic data losses

This paper addresses the cooperative output regulation problem of linear discrete-time multi-agent systems with a dynamic network subject to stochastic data packet dropouts. Under some standard assumptions on the solvability of classical linear cooperative output regulation problem, a dynamic output feedback protocol is designed and the necessary and sufficient conditions under which the closed-loop system reaches cooperative regulation are proposed. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed approach.
