Flocking for multi-agent systems with switching topology in a noisy environment

This paper considers the flocking of a class of multi-agent systems with switching topology in a noisy environment. We have shown that although the information is contaminated by variable noises, all agents can form and maintain flocking if the gradient of the environment is bounded and the interaction graphs are jointly connected. The proposed results reveal that the discussed multi-agent system with switching topology can maintain the flocking in the considered noisy environment.
