Distributed Finite Time Consensus of Second-Order Multi-Agent Systems via Pinning Control (August 2018)

Abstract

The robust distributed finite time consensus of second-order multi-agent systems via pinning control has been investigated in this paper. A new nonsingular finite time terminal sliding-mode control method is proposed for second-order single system with disturbances. Based on the pinning error function vector, robust distributed finite time consensus of second-order multi-agent systems via pinning control method is given. Simulations results are performed to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
