Coordinated Control of Networked Multiagent Systems With Communication Constraints Using a Proportional Integral Predictive Control Strategy

This paper is concerned with the coordinated control problem of multiagent systems with communication constraints. A cost function of measuring the coordinated control between networked multiagents is presented. The networked proportional integral predictive control scheme is proposed so that not only the cost function is optimized but also simultaneous consensus and stability of networked multiagent systems is achieved and the communication constraints are actively compensated. The further analysis provides the necessary and sufficient conditions of reaching simultaneous stability and consensus. An example shows the proposed scheme works effectively.
