Leader Following Distributed Formation tracking in Nonlinear Fractional-Order Multi-Agent Systems by using Adaptive integral Sliding Mode Approach

The mainspring of this paper is a consensus tracking and a distributed formation in multi-agent systems of fractional order with a leader following strategy. Based on the sliding mode control method, the distributed controller is designed to access consensus and formation in multi-agent systems of fractional order with a leader following strategy. The sliding surfaces is defined as the term of the integral of the fractional error. It has been shown that, if the followering dynamics are affected by disturbances, The sliding mode controller is still valid. In the following, the controller stability is discussed and, finally, several simulations are presented to illustrate the controller's performance.
