Abstract:
A class of nonlinear multiagent systems with time delays and external noises is investigated, and a distributed adaptive robust control protocol is developed. It is the first time for a class of multiagent systems to take both time delays and external noises into consideration. By virtue of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and Young's inequality, the effects of time delay can be eliminated. Then, to exclude external noises, a robustifying term is introduced to eliminate the negative effects of these noises. Moreover, neural networks are utilized to learn the unknown nonlinear terms to adapt to the complex external environment. Finally, a numerical simulation is conducted to validate the effectiveness of our distributed control protocol.
