Distributed adaptive static output feedback consensus of multi-agent systems

This paper is concerned with the distributed adaptive consensus problem for multi-agent systems by static output feedback (SOF) control approach. A distributed SOF control protocol with adaptive adjusted coupling weights by output information of its neighbor systems is proposed. By using congruence transformation, an exponential consensus condition of multi-agent systems is obtained in forms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). Simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the developed approach.
