Event-Triggered Consensus of Directed Interdependent Networks

Based on event-triggered control technology, in this paper, the heterogeneous consensus of directed interdependent networks is investigated. According to Lyapunov stability theory, an event-triggered control protocol is designed, as well as the event-triggered threshold, which will decrease the updating number of the controllers and guarantee the asymptotic heterogeneous consensus between the two directed interdependent networks and the equilibrium points of the isolated node systems of the two subnets. Numerical simulations show that: (1) the control scheme proposed in this paper can quickly make the nodes of the network and the equilibrium points of the isolated node systems consistent, and (2) the coupling relationships in the subnets can improve the control effect of the network and save the control time and the control energy.
