Abstract

This paper investigates the analytical methods of the consensus problem for multi-agent systems by the Robust H_∞ control theory. The system model, the control protocol and the desired H_∞ performance are analyzed for multi-agent systems with external disturbance, uncertainty and time-delay. The results obtained by different analysis methods regarding the consensus of multi-agent systems by robust H_∞ control are introduced in detail. The characteristics of the methods for the first-order, second-order and high-dimension linear dynamics are compared with each other. Finally, some existing problems and future research directions in this research field are discussed.
