Distributed Finite-Time Consensus Control of Multiagent Systems With Fully Intermittent Communication via Dynamic Event-Triggered Strategy

Taking into account the multi-agent systems (MASs) with the single-order integrator dynamics and the directed internal topology, this brief is devoted to investigating the finite-time consensus (FTC) control problem based on the event-triggered strategy (ETS). A novel dynamic and state-dependent ETS is designed by using an adaptive and dynamic variable for each agent. Based on the triggered states, a discontinuous FTC control strategy is proposed and the tools from the non-smooth analysis theory are adapted to analyze the stability. Moreover, under the developed protocol, consensus can be realized after a finite transient time while avoiding the continuous information transmissions among agents. Finally, the effectiveness corroboration of the theoretical results are provided by the numerical simulation.
