摘要
This paper aims to find a simple but efficient method for consensus protocol design. This paper presents two consensus protocols to solve the consensus problem of complex multi-agent systems that consist of inhomogeneous subsystems. The limitations of current studies are analyzed, and a novel model based on transfer functions is presented. This model can be used to describe both homogeneous and inhomogeneous multi-agent systems in a unified framework. Based on this model, two sufficient and necessary conditions for the consensus of complex multi-agent systems have been obtained. One is for the systems without any external input, and the other is for the systems with the same external input. Then, two corresponding distributed consensus protocols are presented. Considering that the complex multi-agent systems may require different outputs sometimes, the relationship between inputs and outputs is analyzed. Finally, some simulations are given to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed approaches. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
