Distributed event-triggered control with dynamic triggering mechanisms for multi-agent systems

In this paper, a new event-triggered mechanism for distributed control system is presented. This control protocol is governed by an a trigger defined based on internal dynamic variable. The triggering condition of an agent is not only affected by its own measurement error and the relative states of its neighbors but also the current state measurement error and those previous ones. A candidate Lyapunov function is proposed to illustrate the asymptotic convergence of the closed-loop system. Simulation results are provided for illustration of the theoretical claims at the end.
