Abstract

The group consensus problem of nonlinear hybrid multi-agent systems (NHMAS) under self-triggering event mechanism is studied. First, a nonlinear agent dynamic model with mixed continuous and discrete states is established. Then a group consensus controller for hybrid multi-agent system (HMAS) is presented. Under the action of the controller, the agent only needs to interact with the state information of the neighbor agents in a local range, and the system can quickly realize the group consensus. Based on this definition and periodic sampling method, a self-triggering event mechanism is proposed. It can reduce the update frequency of the controller and thus reduce the energy loss by predicting the trigger time. Combined with graph theory and Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the proposed controller can achieve group consensus under the action of event-triggering mechanism. Finally, the correctness of the research conclusions is validated through simulation examples.
