Leader-following Consensus of Multi-agent Systems over Finite Fields
The leader-following consensus problem of multi-agent systems over finite
fields is considered in this paper. Dynamics of each agent is
governed by a linear equation over , where a distributed control
protocol is utilized by the followers.Sufficient and/or necessary conditions on
system matrices and graph weights in are provided for the
followers to track the leader
Coordination for a Group of Autonomous Mobile Agents with Multiple Leaders
In this paper, we consider the coordination control of a group of autonomous
mobile agents with multiple leaders. Different interconnection topologies are
investigated. At first, a necessary and sufficient condition is proved in the
case of fixed interconnection topology. Then a sufficient condition is proposed
when the interconnection topology is switched. With a simple first-order
dynamics model by using the neighborhood rule, both results show that the group
behavior of the agents will converge to the polytope formed by the leaders.Comment: 5 pages,7 figure
