Event-triggered consensus of multi-agent systems under directed topology based on periodic sampled-data
The event-triggered consensus problem of first-order multi-agent systems
under directed topology is investigated. The event judgements are only
implemented at periodic time instants. Under the designed consensus algorithm,
the sampling period is permitted to be arbitrarily large. Another advantage of
the designed consensus algorithm is that, for systems with time delay,
consensus can be achieved for any finite delay only if it is bounded by the
sampling period. The case of strongly connected topology is first investigated.
Then, the result is extended to the most general topology which only needs to
contain a spanning tree. A novel method based on positive series is introduced
to analyze the convergence of the closed-loop systems. A numerical example is
provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results
Distributed Event-Triggered Control for Asymptotic Synchronization of Dynamical Networks
This paper studies synchronization of dynamical networks with event-based
communication. Firstly, two estimators are introduced into each node, one to
estimate its own state, and the other to estimate the average state of its
neighbours. Then, with these two estimators, a distributed event-triggering
rule (ETR) with a dwell time is designed such that the network achieves
synchronization asymptotically with no Zeno behaviours. The designed ETR only
depends on the information that each node can obtain, and thus can be
implemented in a decentralized way.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figues, 1 tabl
Performance analysis with network-enhanced complexities: On fading measurements, event-triggered mechanisms, and cyber attacks
Copyright © 2014 Derui Ding et al.

For networked systems, especially large-scale systems such as multiagent systems and systems over sensor networks, the complexities are inevitably enhanced in terms of their degrees or intensities because of the usage of the communication networks. Therefore, it would be interesting to (1) examine how this kind of network-enhanced complexities affects the control or filtering performance; and (2) develop some suitable approaches for controller/filter design problems. In this paper, we aim to survey some recent advances on the performance analysis and synthesis with three sorts of fashionable network-enhanced complexities, namely, fading measurements, event-triggered mechanisms, and attack behaviors of adversaries. First, these three kinds of complexities are introduced in detail according to their engineering backgrounds, dynamical characteristic, and modelling techniques. Then, the developments of the performance analysis and synthesis issues for various networked systems are systematically reviewed. Furthermore, some challenges are illustrated by using a thorough literature review and some possible future research directions are highlighted.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61134009, 61329301, 61203139, 61374127, and 61374010, the Royal Society of the UK, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
