Abstract
This paper surveys non-singular finite-time consensus tracking issues for second-order multi-agent systems subject to external disturbance. The consensus tracking protocol utilizes the sliding mode control methodology. Firstly, a novel non-singular sliding mode manifold is designed for each agent dynamics, and it ensures the finite-time convergence once the error trajectory reaches it. Further, two non-singular consensus protocols are developed so as to drive the error trajectory towards the assigned sliding mode manifold in finite time. However, the settling time with the first protocol scheme cannot be assessed due to its dependence on transient states. To overcome this dilemma, another protocol scenario is exploited, with which the settling time is assignable off-line using available initial information states and control parameters. Finite-time consensus tracking results are demonstrated based on Lyapunov stability theorems. Eventually, simulations verify the performance of the developed protocols.
