This paper studies the robust consensus problem for multi-agent systems with nonuniform time-delays and switching topologies in the presence of external disturbances, where each agent has a self-delay and each delay is independent of each other. A neighbor-based rule is used for the agents with nonuniform time-delays and external disturbances. A sufficient condition is derived under which all agents achieve consensus while satisfying desired H_infinity performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results is demonstrated through numerical simulations.

This paper studies the H∞ consensus problem of multi-agent systems with Lipschitz non-linearities and external disturbances in a general network. The topology is just required to contain a directed spanning tree. Distributed consensus controllers are constructed based on relative states information of neighbour agents. A novel matrix decomposition based approach is introduced to analyse the H∞ consensus problem, in which the H∞ consensus problem is converted into a H∞ control problem of lower dimension system by performing a proper linear variable transformation. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is illustrated via a numerical simulation.
