Abstract:
This paper addresses the consensus problem of linear multiagent systems via nonlinear couplings. First, we show that the multiagent system can achieve consensus via nonlinear couplings provided the coupling strength surpasses a threshold, which depends on the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the interaction graph Laplacian. Second, an adaptive coupling protocol is proposed to adjust the coupling strength without any usage of global information. Some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocols.
