Leader-following consensus control for semi-Markov jump multi-agent systems: An adaptive event-triggered scheme

The problem of event-triggered leader-following consensus control for semi-Markov multi-agent systems is investigated in this paper. A semi-Markov process is used to describe the sudden parameter changes between every agent. An adaptive event-triggered control strategy is proposed to make a balance between reducing unnecessary communication and meeting the required performance. A control protocol which can resist actuator faults is used to ensure the reliable leader-following consensus. By employing the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method, some sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee that the leader-following consensus can be achieved in mean-square sense. The consensus controller and the event-triggered parameter can be co-designed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a F-404 aircraft engine system.
