Global Bounded Controlled Consensus of Networked Multi-Agents Systems with Non-Identical Dynamical Agents

This paper investigates the global bounded consensus problem of networked Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) exhibiting nonlinear, non-identical node dynamics with communication time-delays. Globally bounded controlled consensus conditions based on pinning control method and adaptive pinning control method are derived. The proposed consensus criteria ensure that all agents eventually move along desired trajectories in terms of boundedness. The proposed controlled consensus criteria generalize the case of identical agent dynamics to the case of non-identical agent dynamics, and many related results of other researches in this area can be viewed as special cases of the above results. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is demonstrated by means of a numerical simulation.
