Consensus of Second-Order Multi-Agent Systems by Event-Triggered Control

In this paper, event-triggered consensus problem of second-order multi-agent systems is analyzed. We develop a novel event-triggered controller for each agent, which only needs to be updated at its own triggering time instants. With the proposed controller, the consensus of the studied multi-agent systems is achieved exponentially, and Zeno behavior is strictly excluded for each agent. Finally, a simulation example is presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.
