A Unified Framework Design for Finite-Time Bipartite Consensus of Multi-Agent Systems

In this paper, the finite-time bipartite consensus (FTBC) problem is investigated for the multi-agent system (MAS) with detail balanced structure. To realize FTBC of MAS, a unified protocol framework is developed. Some criteria are established for realizing FTBC. It is worth noticing that estimations of settling time can be given in form of mathematical expression. The unified framework can bring in various protocols by choosing different parameters, which extends previous results. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of corresponding theoretical results.
