I. Introduction
Distributed control algorithms for multiagent systems can be broadly classified as the algorithms that guarantee asymptotic convergence (see, for example, [1]–[6] and references therein) and the algorithms that guarantee finite-time convergence (see, for example, [7]–[15] and references therein). Depending on the application of interest, one class of these algorithms can be preferred versus the other. Building on our recent results [16]–[18], this paper studies finite-time distributed control algorithms motivated by the time-critical multiagent systems applications.
