Distributed Integral-Type Edge Event- and Self-Triggered Synchronization for Nonlinear Multiagent Systems

This article presents integral-type edge event- and self-triggered policies for Lipschitz nonlinear multiagent systems, in which only edge states are employed by all controllers. An integral-type triggering function is designed to determine event instants, and the considered system can achieve Zeno-free triggering. An integral-type edge self-triggered policy is then designed to avoid sensors’ continuous measurements. Compared to traditional event-triggered schemes, the proposed strategies have relaxed triggering conditions and lowered the event frequencies. Also, the proposed edge self-triggered algorithm can avoid the requirement for continuous measurement error monitoring. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical conclusions.
