Abstract

This article mainly studies the distributed fixed-time (FT) consensus and optimization of second-order multi-agent systems (SOMASs). Firstly, a power-law algorithm is developed by virtue of the gradients of local cost functions and agent neighbor information. Under the algorithm, it is proved that all agents’ velocities approach to zero, while the position state of each agent achieves consensus within a fixed time. In addition, it is further revealed that the problem of unconstrained convex optimization can be solved by this algorithm. An example is provided at last to illustrate the derived results.
