title = "Second-order consensus of multi-agent systems via an artificial stabilizing delay: A Lyapunov-based approach",
abstract = "It is well-known that time-delay is regarded as a destructive character due to that it may cause periodic oscillations or chaos. However, for some systems, artificial delay can have a stabilizing effect. In this paper, we study delay-induced consensus of second-order multi-agent systems by using both current and delayed position information. Based on the neutral type system which is obtained by model transformation method, a sufficient condition is derived via a simple Lyapunov function to guarantee consensus of continuous-time second-order multi-agent systems. Besides, another method with no model transformation is proposed which represents the delayed term in the form of Taylor expansion with integral form of the remainder. The results can be easily extended to input-to-state stability of systems with disturbances. Finally, numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.",
