In this paper, the leader-following [Formula: see text] consensus problem for discrete-time nonlinear multi-agent systems with delay and parameter uncertainty is investigated, with the objective of designing an output feedback protocol such that the multi-agent system achieves leader-following consensus and has a prescribed [Formula: see text] performance level. By model transforming, the leader-following consensus control problem is converted into robust [Formula: see text] control problem. Based on the Lyapunov function technology and the linear matrix inequality method, some new sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the consensus of discrete-time nonlinear multi-agent systems. The feedback gain matrix and the optimal [Formula: see text] performance index are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Abstract This paper is concerned with cluster consensus of linear multi-agent systems via a distributed event-triggered control scheme. Assume that agents can be split into several clusters and a leader is associated with each cluster. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the realization of cluster consensus by a feasible event-triggered controller if the network topology of each cluster has a directed spanning tree and the couplings within each cluster are sufficiently strong. Further, positive inner-event time intervals are ensured for the proposed event-triggered strategy to avoid Zeno behaviors. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
