Hybrid event-triggered tracking control for nonlinear stochastic multi-agent systems

Event-triggered mechanism is applied to multiagent systems in order to reduce the amount of information transmission. In this paper, a novel centralized/distributed hybrid event-triggered mechanism(HETM) is proposed. It is shown that the proposed event-triggered mechanism not only guarantees the consensus of multi-agent systems but also effectively avoids the Zeno behavior. Then, we further consider affection of network-induced time-delay on the consensus of multi-agent systems. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
