Summary: This paper focuses on the leader-following consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems with randomly occurring uncertainties and stochastic disturbances under impulsive control input. Based on the average impulsive interval, a unified consensus criterion is derived for multi-agent systems. On the other hand, our consensus criterion is applicable to impulsive control sequences in which the lower bound of impulsive interval is allowed to be arbitrarily small and the upper bound of impulsive interval is allowed to be big enough. The proposed consensus criterion is theoretically and numerically proved to be less conservative than existing results. Two numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of theoretical results.
