Consensus of fractional multi-agent systems using distributed adaptive protocols. (English) Zbl 1386.93017

Summary: This paper is concerned with the adaptive consensus problem of fractional multi-agent systems for both the linear and nonlinear cases. Distributed adaptive protocols are designed, respectively, for linear and nonlinear fractional multi-agent systems, under which consensus is achieved for any undirected connected communication graph without using any global information. Furthermore, the leader-following problem is studied as an extension. Finally, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
