Abstract :
This study studies the consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems via event-triggered control. Two novel event-triggered control schemes, one centralised and the other distributed, are developed. It is shown that under the proposed control protocols, consensus can be reached for all undirected connected communication graphs. An example is finally presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods.
