State Synchronization for Homogeneous Networks of Non-introspective Agents in Presence of Input Saturation -A Scale-free Protocol Design

This paper studies global and semi-global regulated state synchronization of homogeneous networks of non-introspective agents in presence of input saturation based on additional information exchange where the reference trajectory is given by a so-called exosystem which is assumed to be globally reachable. Our protocol design methodology does not need any knowledge of the directed network topology and the spectrum of the associated Laplacian matrix. Moreover, the proposed protocol is scalable and achieves synchronization for any arbitrary number of agents.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, extended version of the paper submitted to 58th Conference on Decision and Control - Nice, France - December 11th-13th 201
