The finite-time consensus problem for double-integrator multi-agent systems (MASs) is studied using time-varying directed topologies. In detail, a distributed finite-time control protocol is designed to achieve the weighted average consensus on the basis of both relative position and relative velocity measurements by utilizing a homogeneous control technique. Then, on the basis of graph theory, homogeneity with dilation and LaSalle’s invariance principle, the designed finite-time consensus protocol ensures finite-time convergence to a consensus in the time-varying directed topologies without a global leader. Finally, some examples and simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
