Eigenvalue-based approach to global consensus of nonlinear multi-agent systems

摘要：

　　This paper investigates the global consensus of asymmetrically coupled multi-agent systems with nonlinear dynamics.By employing a Lyapunov function,a consensus criterion is presented by checking an inequality involving the smallest eigenvalue except zero of a redefined symmetric matrix associated with the asymmetric Laplacian matrix to guarantee the global consensus of the considered multi-agent systems.In particular,we show that the presented criterion is equivalent to the result by defining a generalized algebraic connectivity 21 corresponding to the Laplacian matrix.Numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
