Abstract

In this manuscript, we are concerned with mixed (discrete and distributed) time-delayed both stability and non-fragile synchronization of nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs). We shall find stability criteria for the unknown parameter value of nonlinear multi-agent systems using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions, Lemma, the analytical techniques, the Kronecker product, and the general specifications for asymptotic stability of selected MASs are obtained. Moreover, criteria for the synchronization of leader–follower unknown parameter value of nonlinear MASs with non-fragile controllers are discussed. At last, we provide two numerical calculations along with the computational simulations to check the validity of the theoretical findings reported in this manuscript.
