Leader-Following Consensus for Discrete-Time Multi-Agent Systems with Parameter Uncertainties Based on the Event-Triggered Strategy

In this paper, the leader-following consensus for discrete-time nmlti-agent systems with parameter uncertainties is investigated based on the event-triggered strategy. And the parameter un- certainty is assmned to be norm-bounded. A consensus protocol is designed based on the event-triggered strategy to make the multi-agent systems achieve consensus without continuous communication among agents. Each agent only needs to observe its own state to determine its own triggering instants under the triggering function in this paper. In addition, a sufficient condition for the existence of the event- triggered consensus protocol is derived and presented in terms of the linear matrix inequality. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate to efficiency of the event-triggered consensus protocol proposed in this paper.
