H∞ consensus of Markovian jump multi-agent systems under multi-channel transmission via output feedback control strategy

This paper studies the H-infinity consensus problem of discrete-time multi-agent systems with Markovian jump parameters and exogenous disturbances via static output feedback control strategy. Each agent's measurement information is transmitted to its neighbors through the multiple quantized channels in which each channel obtains transmission permission based on a Markovian jump dispatcher. A static output feedback consensus controller is employed. In terms of an appropriate Lyapunov function, some sufficient conditions are derived to assure stochastic consensus for multi-agent systems subject to a specified H-infinity performance. At length, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the correctness of the result. (C) 2019 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
