Abstract :
In this paper, synchronization for multi-agent systems subject to external disturbances is studied, and the notion of H∞ almost synchronization” is introduced. The objective is to suppress the impact of disturbances on the synchronization error dynamics in terms of the H∞ norm of the corresponding closed-loop transfer function to any arbitrarily value. We focus on networks of non-identical linear, right-invertible agents under directional communication links. The key assumption is that agents are introspective; that is, they have a partial knowledge about their own states.
