Abstract: This paper presents the containment analysis and design of heterogeneous linear multiagent systems (MAS) with timedelay under the output regulation. The leaders are treated as exosystems and an modified output regulation error is designed, which can deal with more than one leader in containment control, then the containment problem will be turned into an output regulation problem. A novel analysis framework of the output regulation is proposed to design a dynamic state feedback control law for containment error and distributed observer when the agents cannot receive external system signal, which guarantees the convergence of all follower agents to the dynamic convex hull spanned by the leaders. The system stability for timedelay containment is proved by the output regulation method instead of the Lyapunov method. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the validity of the theoretical results.


Key words: heterogeneous multiagent systems; output regulation; linear timedelay systems; containment control

摘要:研究了在输出调节下的时延异构线性多智能体系统的包围控制。 将领导者视为外部系统, 并设计修改后的输出调节误差, 使之可以解决包围控制中超过一个领导者的情况, 然后将包围控制问题转换为输出调节问题。 当智能体无法获得外部系统信号时, 设计了一种分布式观测器, 其状态反馈控制律可以保证所有跟随者都能够收敛到领导者扩张成的凸包内。 提出了一种新的时延下的包围控制稳定性证明方法, 采用输出调节方法代替了通常的李雅普诺夫方法。 最后, 通过数值例子说明了理论结果的正确性。
