Synchronization research of a modified time-delayed multi-agent network model. (English) Zbl 1163.90396
Summary: The synchronization of time-delayed multi-agent networks with connected and directed topology is studied. Based on the correlative work about the agent synchronization, a modified model is presented, in which each communication receiver is distributed a delay \(\tau \). In addition, a proportional term \(k\) is introduced to modulate the delay range and to guarantee the synchronization of each agent. Two new parameters mentioned above are only correlative to the network topology, and a theorem about their connections is derived by both frequency domain method and geometric method. Finally, the theoretical result is illustrated by numerical simulations.
