Abstract

This paper deals with the consensus control of a multi-agent system with state and measurement disturbances, and proposes a distributed dynamic output feedback protocol. By defining an appropriate controlled output, the consensus control problem is reformulated as an H∞ control problem. Using H∞ techniques, a sufficient condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is given to ensure consensus with the prescribed H∞ performance, and the undetermined system matrix of the proposed protocol is obtained. Simulation results show that a multi-agent system under the proposed protocol with system matrix solved by the LMI (linear matrix inequality) approach possesses the desired H∞ consensus performance.
