Abstract :
This work introduces a decentralized hybrid control scheme for a class of nonlinear control of multi-agent systems with dynamical connections. The idea behind this approach is to adapt hybrid control laws to improve the convergence rate and connectedness of the multi-agent system. The consensus property is established by means of the common Lyapunov function approach, and a numerical example is provided to exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
