This paper considers a consensus control of a general linear multi-agent system with time-varying communication delays. Since each agent can only use the relative output information from its neighbors, a reduced-order observer-based control protocol is proposed to guarantee consensus on the directed communication network. The stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed for the cases with uniform delays and nonuniform time-varying delays, respectively. Moreover, the upper bounds of the communication delays are obtained respectively for the two cases. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the proposed theoretical results.

Compared with the traditional multi-agent models, the hierarchical leader–follower network (HLFN) can describe some real-world multi-agent systems more precisely due to its layered properties. The distributed event-based consensus control problem of HLFNs with layer-to-layer delays, namely, communication delays among agents of different layers, is presented in this essay. In order to solve the aforementioned problem, several innovative hierarchical event-based control (HEC) algorithms are proposed. The sufficient conditions on the control parameters and event-triggered mechanism were derived to undertake the reliability of the closed-loop dynamics. Moreover, it is shown that the zeno-behaviors of the presented HEC algorithms can be excluded. Finally, there are some numerical examples that verify the availability of the results.
