Abstract :
For sampled-data multi-agent systems, the paper establishes that controllability property is preserved if the corresponding unsampled system is controllable and the sampling time is not pathological. In particular, several specific multi-agent systems are identified for which controllability is proved to be invariant under any sampling period.
