Impulsive output consensus of networked passive systems

In this paper, we study the problem of impulsive output consensus of multi-agent dynamical systems, where each agent is a passive system. Firstly, an impulsive control protocol is designed for networked passive systems based on the local information of agents. Secondly, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the output consensus of the multi-agent dynamical systems for the network with fixed and switching topologies, respectively. Finally numerical simulations are included to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
