Consensus Analysis of Multi-Agent System with Impulsive Effects and Time-Varying Delays

Based on the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation, the consensus of the multi-agent systems with impulsive effects and communication delays is investigated in this paper. Moreover, impulsive effects are considered in the process of communication between the leader and the follower agents which directly exchange information with the leader. Some new criteria are derived for the follower agents converging to the leader. Finally, the numerical simulation is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theories.
