Fractional-order consensus of multi-agent systems with event-triggered control

In this paper, the event-driven control strategies have been proposed to study the consensus of fractional-order multi-agent systems. A general consensus control algorithm is introduced to analyze the fractional-order agent dynamics. Base on limited resources of embedded microprocessors and wireless sensors, event-triggered control mechanism have been exploited in a centralized approach, where all agents implement the same control update by the global measurement error. While in distributed counterpart, each agent executes control update depending on the information of itself and its neighboring agents. Sufficient conditions for consensus have been achieved on interaction graph and event-triggered real time constraint parameter. Finally, simulation examples are presented to illustrate the results.
