Invariant Ellipsoids Method for Homogeneous Leader-Following Consensus Control

摘要

The invariant ellipsoid methodology focuses on minimizing the invariant/attractive set for a linear control system subjects to bounded external disturbances. In this note, the invariant ellipsoid methodology is adapted to multiagent systems (MASs) by leveraging the generalized homogeneous control. A necessary and sufficient condition for the optimal rejection of external disturbances using a homogeneous control protocol is presented. Compared to linear control protocols, the generalized homogeneous approach yields faster convergence and enhanced accuracy. Theoretical results are validated by the numerical simulations of the multiagent system comprised of unicycle mobile robots (UMRs).
