The distributed suboptimal control for multi-agent scalar systems

The design and optimization of the distributed controller for the multi-agent scalar systems are considered in this paper. Based on the system topological structure, the distributed controller for discrete-time system is designed. Using the “averaged” optimization approach, the optimal feedback gain scaling factors are presented and the distributed suboptimal controllers are obtained. The uniqueness of the suboptimal distributed controller is showed and an illustrative example is also given.
