Mean square containment control problems of multi-agent systems under Markov switching topologies. (English) Zbl 1422.93009
Summary: The paper investigates containment control for multi-agent systems under Markov switching topologies. By using graph theory and the tools of stochastic analysis, sufficient conditions of mean square containment control problems are derived for the second-order multi-agent systems. Then the obtained results are further extended to high-order multi-agent systems.
