Event-trigged control for discrete-time multi-agent networks

In this paper, a new control strategy was proposed to deal with the discrete-time multi-agent consensus problem. Two types of protocols are discussed in this paper: i) networks of single-integrators without delay under centralized event-triggered control and ii) networks of single-integrators with delay under distributed event-triggered control. For each consensus protocol, we prove that the multi-agent network will achieve consensus asymptotically. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
