Abstract :
In this paper, we consider the multi-agent consensus problem for the mobile agents with singular time-invariant systems. State feedback case for the consensus-ability of such multi-agent systems is discussed. Necessary and sufficient conditions on consensusability are given based on the structures of the agent dynamics and the (fixed) communication topology described by directed graph.
