            Abstract : 
Group consensus has both positive and negative communication weights, which is an extension to traditional consensus problem. Additionally, distributed event-triggered control has advantages over periodic control considering energy consumption and communication constraints. Thus, it is important to study group consensus using event-triggered control. Moreover, by calculating the maximum and minimum of the corresponding parameters, we can simplify the event-triggered function. The implementation will validate the effectiveness of our distributed control protocol.
