Switching-Based Deployment of Multiagent Systems Using Kuramoto–Sivashinsky Model

This article addresses the switching-based deployment of multiagent systems using the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky model. Based on the output measurements, a switching control law is proposed to select only one leader for data transmission. The leader-actuated closed-loop system is modeled by a nonlinear Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the exponential stability of the resulting system via the time-delay approach and Halanay's inequality. Finally, simulation examples are performed to demonstrate the method's effectiveness.
