Abstract :
We consider the consensus stability of multi-agent systems over a digital network. The location coordinates of each agent are sampled by some remote sensor, where the sampling times vary according to the time and/or the system state. Sufficient conditions are given to guarantee consensus stability of dynamical agents. Examples show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
