Average consensus in networks of dynamic agents with switching topologies and multiple time-varying delays. (English) Zbl 1133.68412

Syst. Control Lett. 57, No. 2, 175-183 (2008).
Summary: We discuss average consensus problem in undirected networks of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies as well as multiple time-varying communication delays. By employing a linear matrix inequality method, we prove that all the nodes in the network achieve average consensus asymptotically for appropriate communication delays if the network topology is connected. Particularly, several feasible linear matrix inequalities are established to determine the maximal allowable upper bound of time-varying communication delays. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the sharpness of the theoretical results.
