Abstract

This paper discusses consensus problems for multi-input networked multi-agent systems (MAS) with communication delay. The undirected graphs is used to represent the topology of a networked system. Consensus convergence problems of MAS are converted into stability of linear delayed systems. By adopting a vector Lyapunov function, consensus condition for high-order MAS is derived from properties of M-matrix. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to show the effectiveness of our strategy.
