Average consensus in networks of multi agent with switching topology and time varying delay
This paper addresses the problem of average consensus for multi agent systems (MAS) with time varying delay and switching communication topology. By designing a new Lyapunov Krasovskii functional (LKF) applying the Wirtinger based inequality and reciprocally convex combination approach to handle the integral terms of the derivative of the LKF, a novel delay dependent sufficient condition in terms of Linear matrix inequalities is obtained for the average consensus of the MAS. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
