Observer-based Leader-following Consensus for Positive Multi-agent Systems Over Time-varying Graphs

This paper addresses the leader-following consensus problem for discrete-time positive multi-agent systems over time-varying graphs. We assume that the followers may have mutually different positive dynamics which can also be different from the leader. Compared with most existing positive consensus works for homogeneous multi-agent systems, the formulated problem is more general and challenging due to the interplay between the positivity requirement and high-order heterogeneous dynamics. To solve the problem, we present an extended version of existing observer-based design for positive multi-agent systems. By virtue of the common quadratic Lyapunov function technique, we show the followers will maintain their state variables in the positive orthant and finally achieve an output consensus specified by the leader. A numerical example is used to verify the efficacy of our algorithms.

Robust Positive Consensus for Heterogeneous Multi-agent Systems

This paper investigates a robust positive consensus problem for a class of heterogeneous high-order multi-agent systems subject to external inputs. Compared with existing multi-agent consensus results, the most distinct feature of the formulated problem is that the state variables of all heterogeneous agents are confined in the positive orthant. To solve this problem, we present a two-step design procedure. By constructing an auxiliary multi-agent system as positive local reference generators, we incorporate the reference generator into some applicable decentralized robust tracking controller for each agent. The proposed distributed algorithm is proven to ensure a robust consensus fulfilling certain prescribed pattern for the multi-agent system under switching topology in the sense of finite-gain stability with respect to the external inputs. A simulation example is finally given to illustrate the effectiveness of our design.
