A state-derivative feedback (SDF) is added into the designed control protocol in the existing paper to enhance the robustness of a fractional-order multiagent system (FMS) against nonuniform time delays in this paper. By applying the graph theory and the frequency-domain analysis theory, consensus conditions are derived to make the delayed FMS based on state-derivative feedback reach consensus. Compared with the consensus control protocol designed in the existing paper, the proposed SDF control protocol with nonuniform time delays can make the FMS with SDF and nonuniform time delays tolerate longer time delays, which means that the convergence speed of states of the delayed FMS with SDF is accelerated indirectly. Finally, the corresponding results of simulation are given to verify the feasibility of our theoretical results.

This paper considers the problem of consensus control for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems with incremental quadratic constraints and time delays. Each agent exchanges state information through a strongly connected communication topology. Based on the information obtained from neighboring agents, a distributed consensus protocol is designed. A delay-independent consensus condition is formed for the protocol to solve the consensus problem by employing Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method. In order to deal with the nonlinear terms in matrix inequalities, an iterative algorithm is proposed by using the Schur complement lemma and the cone complementary linearization method. The nonlinearities under consideration are more general than many other nonlinearities considered in related literature studies since the incremental quadratic constraints include many other known nonlinearities as some special cases. Finally, we give a numerical example to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed consensus control protocol.

The event-triggered consensus control for leader-following multiagent systems subjected to external disturbances is investigated, by using the output feedback. In particular, a novel distributed event-triggered protocol is proposed by adopting dynamic observers to estimate the internal state information based on the measurable output signal. It is shown that under the developed observer-based event-triggered protocol, multiple agents will reach consensus with the desired disturbance attenuation ability and meanwhile exhibit no Zeno behaviors. Finally, a simulation is presented to verify the obtained results.
