Decentralized Event-Triggered Consensus of Linear Multi-agent Systems under Directed Graphs
An event-triggered control technique for consensus of multi-agent systems
with general linear dynamics is presented. This paper extends previous work to
consider agents that are connected using directed graphs. Additionally, the
approach shown here provides asymptotic consensus with guaranteed positive
inter-event time intervals. This event-triggered control method is also used in
the case where communication delays are present. For the communication delay
case we also show that the agents achieve consensus asymptotically and that,
for every agent, the time intervals between consecutive transmissions is
lower-bounded by a positive constant.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, A preliminary version of this manuscript has been
