Abstract :
This paper deals with consensus control of a class nonlinear systems with Lipschitz nonlinearities. Certain features of the Laplacian matrix are further explored to identify conditions for global consensus control. Under the identified conditions, consensus control and stability of the proposed control are analyzed in time-domain through Lyapunov functions. The proposed control uses relative state information of the system. A simulation study is included to demonstrate the proposed control designs with some simulation results shown.
