On the General Consensus Protocol of Third-order Multi-agent Systems

This paper focuses on the consensus problem of general third-order multi-agent systems. Through Laplace transform and Ruth-Hurwitz criterion, sufficient and necessary consensus conditions are obtained for continuous-time systems and discrete-time systems, respectively. Simulation results illustrate the correctness of the results.
