Abstract
Nowadays, multi-agent systems (MAS) are ubiquitous in the real world. Over the last decade, consensus has been received an increasing attention from various disciplines. This paper aims to further investigate a novel kind of cluster consensus of MAS with several different subgroups and fixed topology. Based on the theories of Markov chains and nonnegative matrix analysis, several cluster consensus criteria were obtained. Moreover, numerical simulations are also given to validate the effectiveness of the proposed cluster consensus criteria.
