A Hybrid Switching Control Approach to Consensus of Multiagent Systems
提出一种混合切换控制方法，通过重置控制与增益模式的切换，改善多智能体系统瞬态一致性性能，并保证控制器输出连续且符号一致。
This article develops a novel hybrid switching control (HSC) approach to the consensus of multiagent systems (MASs), and the objective is to further improve the transient consensus performance compared with a reset control approach in recent results. First, a hybrid switched controller is introduced, which consists of two working modes: 1) reset control mode and 2) gain mode. Through appropriate switching mechanism design, the controller output signal can be guaranteed to be continuous, and the input-output of the switched controller always has the same sign. Then, HSC is applied to the consensus of MAS, and a consensus protocol consisting of proportional control part and HSC part is proposed. By introducing binary-value variables, an appropriate closed-loop model is constructed, and the Lyapunov-based consensus analysis results are obtained. Finally, an example is provided to show the superiority of the proposed approach.
