Event-Triggered Bipartite Consensus of Multi-Agent Systems With Selected Transmissions.

In this paper, an event-triggered bipartite consensus control protocol is proposed for multi-agent systems. A clock variable is introduced to design a distributed event-triggered control law. Meanwhile, each agent broadcasts the sampling state to some of its neighbors when an event occurs. Moreover, we analyze that the Zeno behavior is excluded in the proposed event-triggered control protocol. Compared with the existing static and dynamic triggering mechanisms, the devisable minimum inter-event time and transmission mechanism can be flexibly adapted to the various hardware limitations. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by simulation results.
