Distributed Adaptive Consensus of Nonlinear Multi-agent Systems with Unknown Control Coefficients

摘要

This paper is devoted to the leader-follower consensus problem for nonlinear multi-agent systems. Remarkably, the control coefficients in the systems are unknown which makes the problem rather difficult to solve. By employing the distributed adaptive protocols, the consensus is achieved under undirected connected graph for the first-order nonlinear multi-agent systems. Furthermore, similar results for the general case are obtained for the second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems. At last, two simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness of the protocols.
