Distributed Semiglobal Consensus With Relative Output Feedback and Input Saturation Under Directed Switching Networks

This brief investigates the consensus problem of a linear multiagent system (MAS) with input saturation and a directed switching proximity topology. An observer-based distributed MAS control method is developed to achieve semiglobal consensus, in which only relative output measurement is available for feedback. Numerical simulation is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.
