Dissipative consensus problems for multi-agent networks via sliding mode control

Abstract In this paper, dissipative consensus problems are discussed for multi-agent networks. Firstly, sufficient conditions are proposed to ensure ( Q , S , R ) − dissipative consensus for multi-agent networks with external disturbances. Then, by designing an integral-type sliding surface function, a controller is obtained and the corresponding sufficient conditions are given to guarantee ( Q , S , R ) − dissipative consensus for multi-agent networks with external disturbances. Moreover, the sliding mode control law is formulated such that multi-agent networks drive onto the predefined surface in finite time. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
