Event-Triggered Pinning Control for Consensus of Multiagent Systems With Quantized Information
研究了有向图下多智能体系统通过事件触发牵制控制实现实际一致性的问题，设计了量化通信协议以减少通信负载，并证明了系统能收敛到一致集且排除Zeno现象。
In this paper, the problem of distributed event-triggered pinning control for practical consensus of multiagent systems (MASs) with quantized communication based on a directed graph is investigated. The pinning control for practical consensus of MASs with uniform quantizer is first discussed. Then, in order to decrease communication load of interagent, the event-triggered quantized communication protocol is designed. The nonsmooth analysis and Gronwall's inequality approach is used to guarantee the existence of a solution to the resulting closed-loop system. It is shown that practical consensus is reachable through the event-triggered control and converges to a consensus set. Moreover, “Zeno phenomenon” can be excluded. Finally, an example is given to validate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed new design method.
