Cooperative Control of Dynamical Systems and Its Robustness Analysis

In this paper, cooperative stability and its robustness are studied for dynamical systems under a class of local-feedback cooperative control laws. Emphasis is placed upon cooperativeness and stability in the presence of such disturbances as communication noises and measurement errors. Concepts of (robust) cooperative stability are introduced, and stability conditions are explicitly derived. In addition, to ensure robust cooperative stability, an adaptive cooperative control strategy is proposed. Examples and simulation results are included to illustrate the proposed results
